Bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening infection of the meninges (protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) that occurs when bacteria breach the blood-brain barrier and invade the cerebrospinal fluid, triggering a catastrophic immune response that causes dangerous swelling and pressure inside the skull; the condition presents with rapid onset of severe headache, stiff neck, high fever, light sensitivity, and a distinctive rash of dark purple-red spots that do not fade under pressure, and requires immediate intravenous antibiotic treatment to prevent permanent brain damage, hearing loss, limb loss, or death within hours, though early treatment allows for full recovery.
