Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, with bacterial meningitis being the most severe. Symptoms typically include headache, fever, neck stiffness, and sensitivity to light. Prompt medical treatment is crucial, as bacterial meningitis can lead to serious complications or death.
