What is Meningitis
Generally speaking, meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges and the subarachnoid space. The inflammation can be caused by infections, different disorders, or reaction to some drugs.
So what are meninges? Meninges are the three membranes named the dura matter, arachnoid, and the pia mater. These membranes enclose the brain and the spinal cord. Subarachnoid space is the space between the arachnoid and the pia mater.
Meningitis can be classified according to the cause of the inflammation. There are five types of meningitis based on the source of inflammation, namely bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, fungal meningitis, parasitic meningitis, and a rarely found variety i.e., non-infectious meningitis.
