Which symptom is NOT typical of meningitis complications?

Sudden weight loss is not a typical symptom associated with complications of meningitis. Meningitis is characterized by inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, leading to symptoms that reflect increased intracranial pressure and irritation of the central nervous system.

Symptoms such as difficulty to arouse indicate altered mental status, which can occur due to increased pressure or swelling in the brain. Photophobia, or sensitivity to light, is a common symptom due to irritation of the meninges. A progressive worsening headache is also typical, as it can result from the inflammation and associated processes of meningitis. These symptoms are more directly related to the nature of the disease and its effects on the central nervous system, whereas sudden weight loss is not a characteristic symptom or complication of meningitis.
