What Is Meningitis B?
Meningitis B is caused by meningococcal group B bacteria. It can infect the lining around the brain and spinal cord and may also lead to septicaemia or sepsis.
-
Meningitis B refers to infection caused by meningococcal group B bacteria. These bacteria can cause serious illnesses including meningitis and septicaemia, which can become severe very quickly.
-
Meningitis can spread through close contact such as coughing, sneezing and kissing. Symptoms can include a high temperature, headache, vomiting, stiff neck, dislike of bright lights, cold hands and feet, confusion, drowsiness and a rash that does not fade. A rash does not always appear.
-
Meningitis can affect anyone, but it is most common in babies, young children, teenagers and young adults. Teenagers and young adults are also more likely to carry and spread meningococcal bacteria.
-
Seek urgent medical help immediately if you think someone may have meningitis or sepsis. Call 999 or go to A&E and do not wait for all symptoms to appear or for a rash to develop.
-
Bacterial meningitis can cause serious complications including hearing loss, seizures, memory and concentration problems, co-ordination difficulties, vision loss and, in severe cases, limb loss.
-
The MenB vaccine helps protect against meningococcal group B bacteria, but it does not protect against every cause of meningitis or sepsis, so it is still important to know the symptoms.
