Meningitis<\/strong><\/h1>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection.\u200b
Viral meningitis is the most common and least serious type. Bacterial meningitis is rare but can be very serious if left untreated.
<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Several meningitis vaccines provide protection against many infections that can cause meningitis.
A meningococcal vaccine refers to any vaccine used to prevent infection by Neisseria meningitidis. These various types of vaccines are effective against some or all of the following meningococcal serogroups: A, C, W-135, and Y. These vaccines have an efficacy rate ranging from 85 to 100% for at least two years.

Mencevax (GlaxoSmithKline) and NmVac4-A\/C\/Y\/W-135 (JN-International Medical Corporation) are used worldwide. Mencevax ACWY is indicated for active immunization of adults and children over two years of age against meningococcal meningitis caused by meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

This vaccine can be used for:
1. Individuals who are close contacts of patients with diseases caused by meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.
2. Travelers visiting countries where the disease is endemic or where a major outbreak is occurring.
3. Control of infectious disease outbreaks caused by meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y in isolated communities.
4. Patients with congenital abnormalities of properdin or the complement system, or with functional or anatomical asplenia.

Mencevax ACWY is not recommended for use in infants and children under two years of age because the vaccine has low antigenicity in this age group and antibodies persist for a shorter period of time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Several different viruses and bacteria can cause meningitis, including:
\u2022 meningococcal bacteria\u2014there are several different types, known as A, B, C, W, X, Y, and Z
\u2022 pneumococcal bacteria
\u2022 Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) bacteria

\u2022 Mumps virus
\u2022 herpes simplex virus \u2013 a virus that typically causes cold sores or genital herpes<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A classic symptom of meningitis is a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it, but this does not occur in many cases; other symptoms of meningitis include: ;
\u2022 high temperature (fever) of 38\u00b0C (100.4\u00b0F) or higher
\u2022 Feeling sick and willing to be sick
\u2022 Quick to anger and lacking energy

For older children and adults: 

The vaccine known as Tdap is similar to DTaP. A single dose of Tdap is recommended for people aged 11 to 64. 

Another vaccine, called Td, protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not against pertussis.  

A booster shot is recommended every 10 years<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
