PROGNOSIS
The long term effects of meningitis vary significantly. Most cases of viral meningitis resolve
with no complications, but bacterial cases can be severe and include neurological problems.
The longer you or your child has meningitis without treatment, the greater the risk of permanent damage.
People who receive prompt diagnosis and treatment will usually recover fully.
