Meningitis is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The etiopathogenesis of meningitis involves the entry of these pathogens into the central nervous system, triggering an inflammatory response and leading to the clinical manifestations of the disease. This article explores the etiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacotherapy of meningitis, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of this condition.
