Viral Meningitis isn't as severe as Bacterial meningitis. Bacterial meningitis left untreated can cause tissue damage on the brain, seizures, and death. MRSA is short for "methicillin resistant staph aeurous" or staph that is resistant to a strong antibiotic called methicillin. Once in your body MRSA will stay they, you can have outbreaks in the form of boils or it may lie dormant.

Is staph infection and MRSA the same thing?

Yes and no. MRSA is a specific type of staph infection - MRSA is an acronym for Methicillin resisant Staphylococcus aureas. It denotes that the specific Staph organism has developed resistance to an antibiotic which is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Because of this resistance, MRSA infections are harder to treat. For some reason, MRSA organisms are also frequently more virulent, meaning they cause worse infections. Currently, there are two different types of MRSA, hospital acquired and community acquired. These are denoted as HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA. HA-MRSA are more frequently the more virulent variety and are resistant to more antibiotics, while the CA-MRSA organisms are easier to treat and usually cause only boils and folliculitides, rather than systemic infections and pneumonias, like the HA-MRSA. MSSA, methicillin sensitive Staph aureas, is still the most common form of staph infection in most parts of the U.S. and can be treated pretty easily with many different types of antibiotics.
