Is there a cure for bacterial meningitis If so what is it?
I had bacterial meningitis and was treated before the first 24 hours and survived with no further complications. The treatment is a series of various antibiotics. I was put in a 48-hour pharmaceutical coma and dialysis also. I just came across http://www.symptoms-of-meningitis.co.uk which is a very useful and informative site about meningitis.
Could encephalitis and meningitis cause parkinson's?
