Under the guidance of Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi Pokala, patients receive expert neurological evaluation and timely treatment for better recovery outcomes.
What is Meningitis?
Meningitis is an infection that causes swelling of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms. While viral meningitis is often mild, bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent life-threatening complications.
Common Causes of Meningitis
- Bacterial infections (e.g., Streptococcus, Neisseria meningitidis)
- Viral infections (e.g., enteroviruses, herpes viruses)
- Fungal infections (more common in immunocompromised patients)
- Tuberculosis (TB) meningitis
- Weak immune system or chronic illnesses that increase infection risk
