Meningococcal Meningitis is a potentially fatal bacterial infection caused by the organism Neisseria meningitidis (2) that results in the inflammation of the meninges of the spinal cord and brain in infected individuals (7).
The incubation period of meningococcal disease is 3 to 4 days, with a range of 2 to 10 days. Meningococcal bacteria can make a person extremely ill by infecting the blood (septicemia) or by infecting the fluid of the spinal cord and around the brain (meningitis).eningitis can be caused by different serogroups of the meningococcal bacterium, by other bacteria such as Streptococcus and Haemophilus, as well as by viruses and fungi. Being vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis or having had the disease will not protect you against meningitis from other bacteria or viruses.
