Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This condition can be caused by several different organisms such as bacteria and viruses.

Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the fluid and membranes which cover the brain and spinal cord. It is fairly uncommon: about 500 to 1000 cases occur each year in Canada. It is an extremely serious infection. Although antibiotic treatment cures most cases, bacterial meningitis is fatal in one in ten cases and one in seven survivors is left with severe handicap, such as deafness or brain injury. 

Viral meningitis is an infection of the meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) by any one of a number of different viruses. It is a fairly common disease; 500-700 cases are reported each year in New York State. Almost all of the cases occur as single, isolated events. Outbreaks are rare.
