When must i call my doctor if i have meningitis diagnosed at school?

Meningitis: If you have meningitis diagnosed by anyone you need to be on treatment and perhaps in a hospital. You need to call your doctor even if there is a hint or suggestion of meningitis as this is a potentially crippling or fatal condition - and also possibly contagious!
