Can meningitis recur?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Can meningitis recur?

Doctor's answer:

Meningitis is not a lifelong immune disease, so it is possible to experience the transmission of meningitis again after a recurrence. However, if meningitis reoccurs, timely and effective treatment generally allows for a full recovery. If the symptoms are severe or treatment is delayed, it may lead to the recurrence of neurological sequelae.
