Patient's question:
I got purulent meningitis a year ago and stayed in the hospital for a month to recover. Can purulent meningitis relapse?Doctor's answer:
I got purulent meningitis a year ago and stayed in the hospital for a month to recover. If purulent meningitis is treated well, it is generally absolutely unlikely to recur because purulent meningitis is usually caused by bacterial infection and delayed treatment leads to severe inflammation. This is because it can cause persistent high fever and confusion. If it has been treated well and there are no lingering aftereffects, it is absolutely unlikely to recur.
