Is Meningitis Contagious?


Can people who wear Spectacles contact meningitis?

YES and NO.

Meningitis is a very generic term. It simply means inflammation of the meninges (this the tissue covering the brain).
Meningitis can be cause by different diseases. Bacterial and viral infections are the most common cause of meningitis.
BUT there are non-infectious causes of meningitis. Connective tissue disorders like lupus can cause meningitis. Fungal infections can cause meningitis. There are also medications that can cause meningitis...like Ibuprofen.

I suppose you are asking about the infectious meningitis.
Well, most bacterial meningitis are contagious...like the Meningococcal meningitis.
Most viral meningitis are not contagious.
Most fungal meningitis are not contagious.

Lastly, spectacles does not increase your risk of meningitis!!!

yes

Sure it can be contagious but there' s many forms. Why would wearing glasses prevent them?

It is extremely contagious!!!!! Anyone who comes into contact with an infected person could get it!

Yes, it's highly contagious.

hi
Yes
Meningitis is contagious. It can be spread by coming into contact with an infected person's respiratory secretions. Small children who are not yet toilet trained and their caretakers may also spread the virus.
Not everyone who is infected with meningitis will actually get the disease. Therefore, it is not always obvious when you are at risk for infection. When it comes to personal hygiene, common sense can help prevent the spread of viral meningitis. This may include:

washing hands often
disinfecting surfaces with chlorine bleach mixed with water

Because viral meningitis is caused by the enterovirus, it is important to note that this virus is active in the summer and early fall.
