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 />
