Meningoencephalitis is a medical condition involving simultaneous inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and of the meninges, the protective membranes of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). The symptoms resemble those of both conditions, including fever, intense headache, neck stiffness, nausea, and vomiting. Meningoencephalitis is often fatal when untreated, and survivors can be left with long-term neurological conditions.
