Meningitis can be caused by several different things. These causes include bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and non-infections. The most common way to contract meningitis is from another person who already has it.

Meningitis may be viral or bacterial. Both have the same symptoms:

• fever
• headache
• vomiting
• seizures
• stiff and painful neck

When a person has meningitis, the membranes surrounding the brain gets inflamed as a result of the bacterial or viral multiplication.

If meningitis is suspected, lumbar or spinal tap is required to identify the causative organism. The physician may also order complete blood count, CT Scan or MRI.

When the causative organism has been identified, appropriate antibiotics are prescribed along with supportive therapies and intervention to prevent complications and/or death.
