Meningitis Symptoms : The most common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion, decreased consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light or loud noises. Children often exhibit only nonspecific symptoms, such as irritability and drowsiness. A rash may be present in some types of meningitis especially caused by Meningococcal bacteria.
