Is Bacterial meningitis along enough to cause death?

[Kirin Desuke]

Can you give me more details?

[Doc Pool]

most definitely it is ... meninges cover the spinal cord and brain ... so if they are infected ... its very dangerous.

[GOSHAWK]

Definitely yes. Bacterial meningitis can rapidly lead to death if not promptly and properly treated. Even prompt antibiotic administration may not be enough to avoid death or permanent neurological complications.
