Streptococcal Meningitis
Streptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening bacterial infection characterized by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It is primarily caused by various strains of Streptococcus bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus). This condition can progress rapidly and requires immediate medical intervention. Causes
