What
is Meningitis and Septicaemia? Meningitis and Septicaemia are very dangerous diseases and can kill in hours. Meningitis means swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. Septicaemia is blood poisoning caused by the same germs. They can occur together or seperately. Every year as many as 3,000 people are affected in the UK and Ireland. Sadly, one in ten will die and many others will be left with after effects which could be as severe as brain damage, deafness and amputations. |
