Yes- in immune compromised individuals such as neonates, the elderly, or HIV/cancer chemotherapy patients one may see either little or no rise in body temperature, or actually a decrease in body temperature with overwhelming infection (usually sepsis but could be with meningitis, too.)
The sina quo non of meningitis are "minengial irritation signs" -- headache, stiff neck, photophobia, +/- decreased level of consciousness (a late, ominous sign).
That said - I have only seen one or two cases of suspected meningitis w/o fever.

What causes a fever blister without having a fever?
A fever blister, also known as a cold sore, is primarily caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), particularly HSV-1. It can occur without a fever because the virus can be triggered by various factors such as stress, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system, leading to the outbreak of sores around the lips or mouth. The name "fever blister" is somewhat misleading, as a fever is not always present during an outbreak.
