Meningitis Research Paper

According to Ketunnuti, Kronman (2012) Meningitis is described as the swelling of the membrane, mainly in the meninges.
Meninges are the protective membrane that is responsible for covering the brain and the spinal cord.
There are several causes of this disease, and the most common kind or type that is being very infectious, including being viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections.
For example is the acute bacterial meningitis, which is one of the kinds of meningitis, this is a pediatric illness that continuous to cause significant disease burden, in the last 15 years, the mortatility rates remain unchanged.
Furthermore, in discovering and in introducing the pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae type-B (HiB) which in the same way is a cause of bacterial infections that are often severe, vaccines of the said diseases earlier has altered the epidemiology and the occurrence/prevalence of meningitis in developed countries.
In addition, in some countries particularly in/ United States, the majority of meningitis cases are due to viral agents, but the highest morbidity are mortality rates are due to bacterial meningitis which is severe and can cause very serious complications.
The predominant bacterial pathogens causing meningitis are differed depending on the age and immune system of the host.
In addition, Robert W. White II a regional epidemiologist stated that the inflammation of the protective membrane is generally caused by an infection in the fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. Meningitis is also referred as spinal
