Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Not all organisms that circulate in the blood and can enter the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will cause meningitis. Meningitis is specifically caused by pathogens (such as certain bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) that can infect the meninges, the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. The ability to cause meningitis depends on the organism's pathogenic properties, not just its presence in the CSF.
