A member asked:

If still struggling with after effects of meningitis, what specialist do i see? immunologist or infectious disease?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Specifics?: exactly what "after effects of meningitis" are you referring to? I would suggest a neurology consultation and ID physician evaluation.

Depends: If you think there is still infection going on then you may need to see an infectious disease specialist. If you are just having other lasting symptoms from the meningitis then a neurologist may be more helpful
