HE ALSO HAD A HEADACHE AFTER THE TREATMENT
/
Gill, who was found to have meningococcal disease and was hospitalized for 5 nights, emphasized that her headaches continued in the 2 years following the treatment process and made the following statement:
“If I had experienced the rash earlier, we would have taken action sooner. But that’s why it’s so important to know all the symptoms.”
MENINGCOC DISEASE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
/
Meningococcal disease, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, has many symptoms.
Neisseria meningitidis bacteria is found especially in respiratory tract mucosa such as throat and nasal mucosa and can be transmitted from there. The disease can lead to serious health problems such as meningitis (inflammation of the brain membranes) or sepsis (blood poisoning).
Common symptoms of meningococcal disease, which is usually transmitted by inhaling droplets in the air as a result of an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking, are as follows:
Headache,
High fever,
neck stiffness,
Nausea,
Vomiting,
skin rashes,
Weakness.
Meningococcal disease can have serious consequences and can be fatal if left untreated. However, the progression of the disease can be prevented with early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
