Yes, it is. Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious, airborne disease that typically affects the lungs. TB is caused by a bacterium. If the infection is not treated quickly, the bacteria can travel through the bloodstream to infect other organs and tissues.
Sometimes, the bacteria will travel to the meninges, which are the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Infected meninges can result in a life-threatening condition known as meningeal tuberculosis. Meningeal tuberculosis is also known as tubercular meningitis or TB meningitis.
