Candidal meningitis is a rare but serious infection of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord caused by Candida species of fungi. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Prevention of candidal meningitis involves maintaining good hygiene and taking steps to reduce the risk of developing infections. This includes practicing safe sex, avoiding sharing personal items, such as toothbrushes or razors, and controlling underlying medical conditions that weaken the immune system.
If you experience any symptoms of meningitis, seek immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a full recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
