Meningitis System Disorder

The four primary clinical manifestations of meningitis include fever, neck stiffness, altered mental status, and severe headache. These symptoms may appear suddenly and are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light.

The protocol for meningitis includes immediate hospitalization, administration of intravenous antibiotics for bacterial meningitis, and supportive care. Additional steps involve conducting diagnostic tests like lumbar punctures to confirm the infection and determine the appropriate treatment.

Behavioral problems associated with meningitis can include irritability, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings, often resulting from neurological impacts or post-infection complications. In severe cases, these issues may persist long-term, affecting social interactions and daily functioning.
