Meningococcal meningitis is an acute bacterial infection that progresses rapidly and is life-threatening, with a high mortality rate. Many people wonder whether meningococcal meningitis is contagious and how to treat it.

Meningitis and encephalitis can occur in all subjects but are often common in children, especially in hot and cold weather. The average incubation period is usually 4 days. How long meningitis treatment takes depends on the actual situation of the patient.
