NO. Meningitis is an infection of your meninges, the membranes that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It is usually caused by a virus or bacterial infection. Generally, your body's immune system is able to contain and defeat these infections.
However, when an infection gets into your bloodstream, it can make its way to your brain's membranes and cause inflammation. This swelling can harm or destroy nerve cells and cause bleeding in the brain.
