A member asked:
Can symptoms of bacterial meningitis be very mild and potentially go undiagnosed? and can a sore in the nostril cause sinusitis and/ or meningitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and yes: Bacterial meningitis is never mild and more often life threatening if not treated. It would be amazing if not diagnosed in american medicine. But the infection source could be nasal or sinus, but also skin, bloodstream, and lungs.
