What is Meningitis?

Meningitis is a condition wherein the membranes called meninges that cover the brain and the spinal cord get severely inflamed. This condition is caused due to a variety of reasons, seldom due to certain types of medications though. The condition cannot and must not be ignored as it can be life threatening owing to the proximity of the inflammation to the brain and spinal cord.
