Is meningitis an autoimmune disease?


Is meningitis an autoimmune disease?

No.

Meningitis is an infection of the lining of the membrane that covers the spinal cord. It can be bacterial, viral, fungal or parasiditic.

No, it is an infection caused by a viral/bacteria agent. Autoimmune diseases are not contagious.

Nope. It's usually caused by either a virus or a bacteria of the Neisseria species.

meningitis is and infection of the brain I don't think it is an autoimmune disease. but having a weak immune system leaves you open to more infections? good question

No, not to my knowledge--it's a bacterial infection.

You get it from dorm rooms usually. Enclosed spaces shared by a lot of people. Why worry about it, get the vaccination for it.

yes. and it is very serious. yvonne p
