Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes (*meninges*) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is most commonly caused by *viruses* or *bacteria*, but can also be due to fungi or parasites. While anyone can get it, infants, young children, and adolescents are particularly vulnerable, with bacterial forms being a medical emergency.

Descriptions of meningitis-like symptoms date back centuries, but *epidemic meningitis*, caused by *Neisseria meningitidis*, was first clearly documented in the early 19th century. Historically, it caused devastating epidemics with high mortality rates globally. The development of *antibiotics* and *vaccines* in the 20th century dramatically transformed its prognosis and prevention.
Meningitis-causing pathogens typically spread through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, or through close, prolonged contact with an infected person's saliva or nasal secretions. This includes kissing, sharing eating utensils, or living in close quarters. It is generally not spread through casual contact, but specific agents like enteroviruses can spread via the fecal-oral route.
