A leading meningitis charity has urged people to be aware of some of the early warning signs and symptoms of disease, which can be deadly if untreated.
Meningitis Now has warned people that they shouldn't be complacent about the condition and has outlined some of the key characteristics of the illness. It comes as the City of Glasgow College was recently hit with an outbreak of the severe meningococcal disease.
Most people recover from meningitis within 10 days of contracting the illness, but severe cases can end up being fatal.
