My sister in law had bacterial meningitis last year, she had a fever, neck pain and alot of flu like symptoms, infact thats what she thought she had until she ended up in ER after 2 days of thinking she had the flu. By the time she went to the hospital she was almost unconcious, high fever and terrible head pain.
From the information we got from her Dr. baterial is more serious than the viral. If they took a spinal tap they should know which one you have. Please try not to panic. I wish I could tell you more.
