Meningitis itself doesn't directly "put down" the immune system, but the infection can lead to a temporary suppression of immune responses. The body's immune reaction to the infection can cause inflammation and may affect overall immune function. Additionally, certain treatments for meningitis, such as corticosteroids, can further suppress immune activity. Therefore, while meningitis can impact immunity, it primarily does so in the context of the body’s responses to the infection and treatment.
