Several pathogens can cause meningitis, including bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. Viruses like enteroviruses and herpes simplex virus can also lead to meningitis. Fungal infections, such as Cryptococcus neoformans, can also be a cause of meningitis in some cases.
There are three different types of causes...there is the MENINGOCOCUS which is most common because it carries a bacteria that causes MENINGOCOCCAL MENINGITIS which is the red/purple rash..then u get the STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIA whch can cause death(PNEUMONIA MENINGITIS)..then there's STAPHYLOCOCCAL whch is known as a common HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZA TYPE B also known as HIB it has been almost eradicated because of the HIB vaccine...I hope this isn't too much to remember I am in grade 10 n I remembered it only because I have studied it hard and focused...my advice to you is to stay away from your phone at times like these...GOODLUCK...:)
The most common route of central nervous system invasion by pathogens is through the bloodstream, crossing the blood-brain barrier. This allows pathogens to enter the brain and spinal cord and cause infections such as meningitis and encephalitis.
Yes, meningitis can sometimes cause secondary vasculitis. The inflammation and infection associated with meningitis can lead to damage and inflammation of blood vessels, resulting in vasculitis. This is more common in severe or prolonged cases of meningitis.
Pathogens.
Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.
Pathogens and non-pathogens are alike in that they can both exist in various environments and interact with organisms. However, pathogens have the ability to cause disease in their hosts, while non-pathogens do not typically cause harm.

* Viral Meningitis - the most common form of meningitis, caused by a viral infection. It occurs mostly in the summer.* Bacterial Meningitis - the less common form of the disease; always associated with serious and severe illness.
N. meningitidis is the only organism that can cause epidemics of meningitis.
it usually feeds on children and old people
yes it can cause a coma
Pathogens cause Infectious Diseases by pathogens getting into your body and caused harm.
Viral meningitis has no set shape. There are a variety of viruses that can cause viral meningitis, all a different shape.
Pathogens.
I have been researching meningitis and one of the cause of it is the FLU VIRUS TYPE B.
The viruses that cause meningitis are mostly transmitted though touch. The bacteria that cause meningitis are mostly the same, but some can be aerosolized through a cough or sneeze into the air around them.
yes. Pathogens are diseases
