What is meningitis?

Meningitis is the infection and inflammation of the lining(meninges) around the brain and spinal cord and sometimes the fluid (cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis can range from mild to life-threatening infections depending on the severity of the infecting organism, age of the person and his health condition.
