My aunt was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis yesterday and is on a vent in the local icu. We had a family gathering about 17 days ago. Should I be worried about her being contaigious? At that time she just had a sinus/ear infecton. The Dr. is giving her a 50/50 chance of survival. And how long will it be before we will know if she's out of immediate danger?

You have to look at the source and an ear infection is not contagious. The ears and sinus type infection are more prone, if untreated, in causing a meningitis, or an infection of the meninges of around the brain and spinal cord.

Be patient and give it some time. many people have fully recovered from this. Prayer always helps.
