Many factors that cause inflammation of the lining of Otang (meningitis). One of them carelessly squeeze pimples. You see, the germs can enter from the wound to the brain.

"If memites pimple often in the nose, it can get dangerous germs,"

Professor Hasan said, would be more risky if pimple is the positioning at the base of the nose because there are veins that drain directly into the brain. It should be careful that pimple break, "he added.

Professor Hasan explained, the brain is actually sterile. However, some factors that could make the germs go.

Kinds of Meningitis

Professor Hasan explained that there are two types of purulent meningitis and tuberculosis meningitis. Purulent meningitis is an inflammation of the arachnoid lining of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid accompanied piamater murky.

"Meningitis is usually caused by TB germs of tuberculosis. And usually because of low socioeconomic. Sources of infection due to poor body condition.

Although the type of tuberculosis caused by TB germs, Professor Hasan said, does not mean that the former patients could be at risk of developing tuberculosis meningitis. "If it is cured is good. But if you have not completed the therapy can be active again," he said.

According to MayoClinic, there are some kinds of meningitis are:

1. Acute bacterial meningitis: Usually because the bacteria enter the bloodstream and bermikrasi to the brain and spinal cord. But it can also occur due to bacteria directly invade the meninges, as a result of an ear infection, sinus, or skull fracture,.

A number of strains of bacteria that can cause acute bacterial meningitis include:

    Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). This bacterium is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in infants, children and adults in the United States. This is more commonly causes pneumonia or ear infections or sinus. There is a vaccine to help reduce the occurrence of these infections.
    Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus). This bacterium is a major cause of bacterial meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis usually occurs when bacteria from an upper respiratory infection enters your bloodstream. The infection is highly contagious. It affects mainly teenagers and young adults, and can cause local epidemics in the dorm, college, schools, and military bases. There is a vaccine to help reduce the occurrence of these infections.
    Haemophilus influenzae (Haemophilus). Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) bacteria is a major cause of bacterial meningitis in children. But the Hib vaccine has greatly reduced the number of cases of this type of meningitis.
    Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria). These bacteria can be found in soft cheeses, hot dogs, and lunch meats. Fortunately, most healthy people exposed to listeria do not become ill, although pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems tend to be more vulnerable. Listeria can cross the placenta, and infection in late pregnancy may cause the baby was born dead or died shortly after birth. People with weakened immune systems due to disease or the effects of drugs, the most vulnerable.

2. Chronic Meningitis

This form of meningitis occurs when organisms invade the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain. Although acute meningitis strike suddenly, chronic meningitis develops over two weeks or more. However, the signs and symptoms of chronic meningitis include headaches, fever, vomiting, and mental cloudiness, similar to acute meningitis.

3. Fungal meningitis

Fungal meningitis is relatively rare and cause chronic meningitis. Sometimes it can mimic acute bacterial meningitis. However, this form of meningitis is not contagious from person to person. Cryptococcal meningitis is a common form of fungal disease that affects people with immune deficiencies, such as AIDS. This life-threatening if not treated with antifungal drugs
