Meningitis Epidemiology Forecast 2025-2034

Among the various types of meningitis, bacterial meningitis has the highest fatality rate. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1 in 6 people who contract bacterial meningitis will die from the disease, and 1 in 5 survivors will experience serious long-term complications. In the United States, around 500 cases of bacterial meningitis lead to the death of the patient every year.

Meningitis: Disease Overview

Meningitis refers to an infection that causes inflammation of the meninges, which are the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Causative agents include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Bacterial meningitis is the most severe and can be life-threatening if not treated quickly, whereas viral meningitis is usually less severe. Sudden high fever, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, severe headache, nausea, and vomiting are some of the common symptoms of meningitis.

Meningitis: Treatment Overview

The treatment for meningitis depends on the cause of the infection. For bacterial meningitis, immediate treatment with antibiotics and sometimes steroids is needed to manage inflammation. Viral meningitis usually resolves on its own, and treatment is focused on reducing symptoms. For fungal or parasitic meningitis, specific antifungal or antiparasitic medications are prescribed. In all cases, hospitalization is often considered necessary for monitoring and supportive care.

Epidemiology

The meningitis epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for meningitis by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for meningitis and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• Studies show that around 70% of all bacterial meningitis cases occur in children under the age of 5, making this age group particularly susceptible to the disease.
• Meningitis is a life-threatening disorder, carrying a mortality rate of nearly 25%, even with great innovations in healthcare.
• The global prevalence of meningitis is estimated to be 99.9 cases per 100,000 people, as per a 2019 study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1 in 6 people who get bacterial meningitis die, and 1 in 5 survivors experience severe complications.

Country-wise Meningitis Epidemiology

The meningitis epidemiology data and findings from the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of meningitis varies between countries, owing to differences in the prevalence of infectious agents, vaccination coverage, healthcare access, environmental conditions, and socioeconomic factors. The prevalence of meningitis is high in regions like sub-Saharan Africa but low in the United States. In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported approximately 240 cases of meningitis in the United States.
