Meningitis (cerebrospinal meningitis)
Although most people recover from the disease, some are left deaf or blind, and in others it may prove fatal. One of the biggest problems with meningitis is that it can develop very quickly. A child (or adult) can seem perfectly well and then, just a few hours later, be extremely ill with the disease. Another problem is that the symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from other, less serious infections. What are the symptoms of meningitis? It is important to know that not everyone will develop the symptoms below and that they can appear in any order. If someone gets some of the symptoms listed below you should seek medical help immediately because the disease can become extremely serious in just a few hours. If you cannot get in touch with your doctor, or are still worried after getting advice, trust your instincts and take your child to the emergency department of your nearest hospital.

OPPOSITION Leader Brendan Nelson says he is unperturbed that Malcolm Turnbull has refused to rule out a leadership challenge. When asked today if he was concerned about the treasury spokesmen's latest refusal to rule out a challenge, Dr Nelson replied: "No, of course not." Dr Nelson said the Coalition was working hard together. "We are a team, we're working very hard to make sure that the government is kept up to the plate," he said."We've already commenced the process of developing policies for the alternative government of Australia and every one of us is determined to make sure that the government delivers on the expectations that it set." Dr Nelson said Mr Turnbull was doing a terrific job keeping Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan awake at night. "It's obvious even in the relatively early days of the government Mr Swan is struggling being the treasurer of Australia," he said. .
