KNOW THE FACTS:

Meningococcal disease can progress rapidly and be hard to diagnose.

Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentially devastating infection that can progress rapidly, causing serious disability or death within 24 hours.

It is caused by a bacterial infection of the blood and/or membranes that line the spinal cord and brain.

It can progress rapidly, beginning with symptoms such as fever and irritability that are easily mistaken for a common cold.

The distinctive meningococcal rash is an advanced symptom of blood infection, which may or may not occur.

Most children survive meningococcal disease, but if it is not diagnosed or treated quickly it can lead to serious long-term disability or death within 24 hours.
