Answers:
It can mean a series of bacterial infections that affect the meninges or a viral meningitis which does the same thing!. You can get either if you live in squalid conditions like old college dorms!. Yes it is treatable but you have to do something about it in the earliest stages!. Yes you can die or lose limbs from it!. If you feel flu like symptoms, go to the doctor because if you don't, you may not even wake up the next morning!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Meningitis is theinflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges!.
Most cases of meningitis are caused by microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, that spread into the blood and into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)!.[9] Non-infectious causes include cancers, systemic lupus erythematosus and certain drugs!. The most common cause of meningitis is viral, and often runs its course within a few days!. Bacterial meningitis is the second most frequent type and can be serious and life-threatening!. Numerous microorganisms may cause bacterial meningitis, but Neisseria meningitidis ("meningococcus") and Streptococcus pneumoniae ("pneumococcus") are the most common pathogens in patients without immune deficiency, with meningococcal disease being more common in children!. Staphylococcus aureus may complicate neurosurgical operations, and Listeria monocytogenes is associated with poor nutritional state and alcoholism!. Haemophilus influenzae (type B) incidence has been much reduced by immunization in many countries!. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the causative agent of tuberculosis) rarely causes meningitis in Western countries but is common and feared in countries where tuberculosis is endemic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
