Meningitis is a serious infection that affects the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord.

Anyone can get it, but it’s most common in babies, young children, teenagers, and young adults.

It can become life-threatening very quickly and may lead to sepsis or long-term damage to the brain and nerves if not treated fast. Vaccinations are available and can help protect against some types of meningitis.
