Symptoms of MENINGITIS, ASEPTIC
The symptoms of aseptic meningitis are essentially the same as that with bacterial meningitis. There is fever, although it may not be significant, especially with the chemical forms of meningitis. The neck is stiff and there is headache. Confusion, lethargy and nausea and vomiting may occur. Increased sensitivity to the light develops. Occasionally, the inflammatory or infectious state can lead to the development of hydrocephalus, or the collection of spinal fluid within the brain. This can lead to increasing headache, lethargy and coma. Gait disturbance, balance problems and forgetfulness may develop.
