A member asked:
If you get meningitis and get treated for it does it stay in your system forever but dormant or is it totally and compleatly gone?

Bacteria vs sequelae: Most likely bacteria will be kill in the process , but the residual damage may be related to the initial body reaction to contain the infection. That dormant pattern relates better to viral meningitis or slow grow viral meningitis?
