A member asked:

Should i be concerned if my husband was diagnosed with viral (aseptic) meningitis. i'm very confused / worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stiff neck, headache: This is quite common, can be very uncomfortable, but almost always leads to a complete recovery. I trust that bacterial meningitis, mollaret's and herpes encephalitis were ruled out by a capable neurologist. While a virus is assumed to be present and can often be cultured, the infection hazard to others is minimal any why rare individuals get meningeal involvement is mysterious.
