About meningitis B
Meningitis is a severe infection that causes inflammation of the blood vessels that cover the brain and spinal cord. Bacteria or a virus usually causes it, and you can catch it by sneezing, coughing, or kissing someone who has it.
The leading cause of most cases of meningitis in the UK is Meningococcal bacteria, and this can also cause blood poisoning (septicaemia). Five main groups exist, and meningococcal group B (MenB), the most common of these, is responsible for more than 54% of all reported cases.
Meningitis can happen in many different ways and quickly, so it is essential to know the signs and symptoms.
