Long Term Complications

Complications from Delayed Treatment

One out of ten bacterial meningitis patients dies from the infection. This is more common with incidents of sudden and acute symptoms. Many bacterial meningitis victims survive, but are left with severe handicaps including deafness or brain injury. The longer the bacterial meningitis patient goes without treatment, the more severe complications tend to be. Complications include:

brain damage

hearing loss

paralysis

blindness

inability to speak

retardation and learning disabilities

cerebral palsy

coma

kidney failure
