Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges (the covering of the brain and spinal cord). Meningitis can be caused by infection from viruses and bacteria (germs). These germs usually cause everyday illness, such as an ear infection or pneumonia.here are vaccines that can prevent meningococcal meningitis. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) can also cause meningitis. In the past, Hib was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis. There is a vaccine that stops infants and young children from getting this kind of meningitis.
It can be caused by a number of infectious agents including viruses and bacteria. The type of meningitis and its cause can only be determined by conducting laboratory tests. Viral meningitis (also called aseptic meningitis) is the most common type of meningitis and is less severe than bacterial meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis, caused by Neisseria meningitidis, is primarily a disease of young children, with the incidence of cases declining in those older than 1 year of age. 2  The disease is most common during winter and spring. 3  In some persons, the bacteria can cause a severe blood infection called meningococcemia.
