I feel for anyone with meningitis.
If this news is true, my thoughts are with him and his family.

Which version of the disease tends to be the worst? I guess it is the virus version??? plus isn't any diease like this extremly bad in adults? ( I know its bad in kids too) PS Tomo, I think you should be praying to god right about now saying 'thank you for letting me stay' I mean meningitis and a dodgy ticker. Well I guess you could also be cursing him for giving you these things lol

I read the same thing in a newspaper earlier in the week - it said he checked himself into hospital with severe stomach pain, then the papers the other day said he had Meningitis. Hope he makes a speedy recovery

Viral meningitis is the more common, less nasty type. Symptoms last 7-10 days in someone with a normal immune system.
Bacterial (Meningococchal) meningitis is far more serious and can cause death or disability if not treated quickly.
A 1st year at Nottm Uni died of Bacterial Meningitis this year. He was a regular in our Bar, and it was a tragic loss.
Brad Pitt has Viral Meningitis. Hope he gets better.
