EARLY TIMES<br />

Awareness can, and does, save lives<br />

and improve outcomes.<br />

The early signs and symp<strong>to</strong>ms of<br />

meningitis and septicaemia can<br />

be similar <strong>to</strong> flu and include fever,<br />

headache, nausea, vomiting diarrhoea<br />

and muscle pain. More specific signs<br />

and symp<strong>to</strong>ms include fever with<br />

cold hands and feet, drowsiness,<br />

confusion, pale blotchy skin, stiff<br />

neck, dislike of bright lights and a rash<br />

which doesn’t fade under pressure.<br />

In babies, symp<strong>to</strong>ms include being<br />

floppy and unresponsive, dislike of<br />

being handled, rapid breathing,<br />

an unusual, moaning cry and a<br />

bulging fontanelle (soft spot on<br />

the <strong>to</strong>p of the head).<br />

Symp<strong>to</strong>ms may appear in any order<br />

and some may not appear at all. The<br />

disease can develop very quickly<br />

so keep checking. Dr Tom Nutt, chief<br />

executive of charity Meningitis Now,<br />

which fights the disease through<br />

research, awareness and support for<br />

those affected, said: “Vaccines are<br />

available <strong>to</strong> protect against some<br />

types of meningitis, but there are not<br />

vaccines <strong>to</strong> protect against all types<br />

– that’s why it’s vital <strong>to</strong> know the signs<br />

and symp<strong>to</strong>ms, trust your instincts and<br />

seek immediate medical help if you<br />

suspect the disease.”<br />
