Meningitis is the inflammation of the fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. The swelling often triggers signs and symptoms such as headache, fever and a stiff neck. These bacteria can cause an upper respiratory infection but can cause meningococcal meningitis when they enter the bloodstream. It is a highly contagious infection that affects mainly teenagers and young adults. It may cause local epidemics in college dormitories, boarding schools and military bases.
