Yes but . . .: You probably wouldn't be searching online for answers if you really had bacterial meningitis as it's deadly & quickly so if not treated emergently. Check out http://my.Clevelandclinic.Org/disorders/meningitis/hic_bacterial_meningitis.Aspx. Then go see your doc regarding your concerns (or emergency room if any possibility of bacterial meningitis).

High WBC: Bacterial infections are usually characterized by high white blood celll count. Bacterial meningitis should have an associated high white blood count.
