Does meningitis affect life?

Patient's question:

What are the sequelae of meningitis? Does fever-induced meningitis have a serious impact on survival?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child develops meningitis due to a fever, it is generally quite serious, especially purulent meningitis, which can even be life-threatening. Therefore, if the child experiences meningitis again, the extent of its impact on the future will need to be further assessed through improved cranial CT or cranial MRI examinations, while also considering the child's overall condition. I hope this helps you.
