What is Viral Meningitis? Meningitis is a catch-all term for an infection of the meninges. Meninges are membranes covering the spinal cord and brain. Viruses cause the viral form of meningitis. First identified in Sweden in 1878. Detected through a spinal tap. Stiff neck is an indicator.

Common Symptoms Fever Nausea and Vomiting Headache (sometimes coupled with fainting) Photosensitivity (sensitivity to light) Altered mental status *Ranked from earliest to latest stages

Transmission Spread through respiratory droplets (coughing, sneezing, etc.). Spread through feces. Caused by common viruses escalating to become meningitis. Viruses include influenza, chicken pox, and measles.

MRI of inflamed meninges. Pictures and Diagrams MRI of inflamed meninges. *Original sources were unable to be located for pictures.

Who Gets Meningitis? People the most at risk are: More common in third-world countries. Young infants and elderly patients. People with weakened immune systems. Males are slightly more likely than females.

History of Viral Meningitis First recorded outbreak in 1805 in Geneva, Switzerland. Discovered in 1878 in Sweden. No clear source- numerous possibilities. Because Meningitis is general, there is no clear origin.

Treatments of Viral Meningitis Viral meningitis the least serious form of meningitis. Simple treatments given to address individual symptoms. Examples: Painkillers for headaches, Anti-sickness medicines for vomiting.
