Tuberculosis meningitis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which primarily affects the lungs but can spread to the central nervous system.

Both infections can lead to serious health complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
Most lesions that patients view as "spider bites" have nothing to do with spiders, and are, in fact, staph infections.
