can a person be a carrier of viral meningitis?
Question:
Answers:
Sure, but not every one contacting the virus will get meningitis. Many will have a mild or even unnoticable viral illness. Polio is one of the most dangerous and feared agents of viral or aseptic meningitis. That is why we all get vaccinated against it. The oral polio vaccine is actually a live attenuated virus, which is shed in the feces. It has been a preferred form of childhood immunization because even kids who aren't given the vaccine, may well acquire it from other kids who are given it. Rarely, a person actually gets polio from this vaccine, maybe one in a million or ten million. The salk vaccine, which is a shot, is a killed virus, and never gives anyone polio.
Other Answers:
Yes, of course they can.
