Based : Based on the symptoms you have described, this could very well be a case of meningitis. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes covering the spinal cord and brain. It can be caused by a bacteria or a virus, and can be a life threating condition. In this type of situation the patient should be seen right away by an urgent care center or emergency department. Meningitis can be treated, so it is important to seek the appropriate medical care as soon as possible.
