A member asked:
Can spinal menigitis be diagnosed as pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully not: Meningitis is very obvious, with intense headache, neck pain and stiffness, fever, and perhaps confusion, dizziness, disorientation, nausea and vomiting. However, cases of pneumonia may be complicated by sepsis and eventual brain infection or clinical brain toxicity, which is due to primary infection.
