Summary Introduction
To determine:
The treatment options for meningitis caused by bacteria, viruses, and
Introduction:
The medical condition, in which swelling occurs in protective membranes including brain and spinal cord, is termed as meningitis. The viral and bacterial infections generally cause swelling but there are other associated reasons for swelling. The other reasons are certain drugs, fungal infections and protozoa infections, and cancer.
