What Are the Different Types of Meningitis?

Meningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. The main types include bacterial meningitis, often caused by organisms like Neisseria meningitidis or Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is severe and requires urgent antibiotics such as ceftriaxone (often sourced through  ceftriaxone injection wholesale  suppliers in clinical settings). Viral meningitis is more common and usually less severe. Fungal meningitis occurs mainly in immunocompromised individuals. Parasitic meningitis is rare and linked to specific environmental exposures. Non-infectious meningitis may result from autoimmune diseases, medications, or cancers. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical to reduce complications and mortality.
