You become very ill for several weeks. On awakening every morning, you wonder if this day might be your last. And then you begin to turn the corner. Every day your worst symptoms — the fever, the terrible cough, the breathlessness — get a little better. You are winning, beating a life-threatening disease, and you no longer wonder if each day might be your last. In another week or two, you’ll be your old self. But weeks pass, and while the worst symptoms are gone, you’re not your old self — not even close. You can’t meet your responsibilities at home or at work: no energy. Even routine physical exertion, like vacuuming, leaves you feeling exhausted. You ache all over. You’re having trouble concentrating on anything, even watching TV; you’re unusually forgetful; you stumble over simple calculations. Your brain feels like it’s in a fog. Your doctor congratulates you: the virus can no longer be detected in your body. That means you should be feeling fine. But you’re not feeling fine. The doctor suggests that maybe the terrible experience of being ill with COVID-19 has left you a little depressed, or experiencing a little PTSD. Maybe some psychiatric treatment would help, since there’s nothing wrong with you physically. You try the treatment, and it doesn’t help.

Meningococcal disease is the leading infectious cause of death in early childhood. It most commonly presents as bacterial meningitis (15% of cases of N meningitidis) or septicaemia (25% of cases), or as a combination of the two presentations (60% of cases). The epidemiology of bacterial meningitis in the UK has changed dramatically in the past two decades following the introduction of vaccines to control H influenzae type b, serogroup C meningococcus and pneumococcal disease. The control of meningococcal disease is therefore a priority for clinical management (as well as public health surveillance and control). Bacterial meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia are managed in different ways, therefore it is important that healthcare professionals are able to recognise them and manage them accordingly.
