The Confederation of Meningitis Organizations has set aside April 25, 2009 as a day of awareness for an infection that can quickly and painfully affect the brain.
Strictly speaking, meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges. The meninges is the membrane surrounding the tissues of the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord and brain. The inflammation occurs because of a pathogen in the spinal cord fluid.
