A member asked:
If i had meningitis would infection show in bloods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: If you had meningitis, you would be extremely ill, with horrible headache and perhaps unconsciousness. If you don't have those things, a blood test won't tell whether or not you have meningitis. See your doctor if you remain concerned.
