Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could repeated high fever cause meningitis?Doctor's answer:
Recurring high fever and meningitis have a certain correlation, but meningitis does not necessarily reappear easily just because of recurring high fever. The main consideration is whether the pathogen has entered the meninges or brain tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose based on typical symptoms, which include convulsions and high fever. Apart from these aspects, other symptoms are not prominent, so a lumbar puncture test is required for diagnosis.
