Meningitis B symptoms, treatment and prevention
Meningitis B vaccination helps protect against meningococcal group B disease. Meningococcal infection can cause meningitis or sepsis and can become serious very quickly.
Treatment overview
Suspected meningitis or sepsis needs urgent emergency care.
Prevention planning
MenB vaccination can help reduce the risk of group B meningococcal disease.
What the condition is expand_more

Symptoms patients often ask about expand_more
- Symptoms can include fever, severe headache, stiff neck, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, limb pain, cold hands and feet or rapid breathing.
- A non-blanching rash is a warning sign, but serious illness can happen before a rash appears.

Treatment and reassurance expand_more
- Suspected meningitis or sepsis needs urgent emergency care.
