The typical symptoms that are present in cases of meningitis, regardless of the causative agent are fever , headache , painful or stiff neck , mild pink skin rash.
All ages are susceptible to meningitis, although young children are most at risk. Group B streptococcus poses the greatest threat to newborns, whereas meningococcus, pneumococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae pose the greatest threat to young children. Meningococcal disease has a specific risk to adolescents and young adults, whereas pneumococcal disease poses a special risk to the elderly.
Meningitis is a threat to people everywhere. The sub-Saharan African region known as the African Meningitis Belt, which is particularly recognised to be at high risk of epidemics of meningococcal but also pneumococcal meningitis, has the largest disease burden.
When people are living close together, such as during large gatherings, in refugee camps, in crowded homes, or in student, military, and other occupational settings, the risk is higher. A variety of meningitis forms can also be increased by immune weaknesses including HIV infection or complement insufficiency, immunosuppression, and active or passive smoking.
