Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. It is commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections, although fungal infections and other non-infectious causes can also lead to meningitis. Symptoms typically include headache, fever, and a stiff neck, and the condition can be serious and even life-threatening if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Treatment usually involves antibiotics or antiviral medications, depending on the cause of the infection.
