fected. It is a contagious disease.

uses include several different viruses (including those causing polio, measles, rubella, fungi, yeast

fection) and several types of bacteria.

fection can spread from the nose and throat to the meninges. A depleted immune system (along with

se and throat trouble) can cause it to enter the blood stream and go to the brain.

not treated properly, a case of flu or ear, nose, and throat infections can develop into meningitis.

ting heavy meals or taking drugs while sick can cause an infection to drive deeper into the system and

ter the brain area.

her factors aiding in the development of meningitis are alcoholism, brain surgery, brain cancer,

posure to chemical agents, head injury, pneumonia, Lyme disease, syphilis, tuberculosis, or anything

at weakens the immune system (chemotherapy, radiation treatment, steroid therapy, HIV infection,

d certain types of cancer).
