Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Kupfuura: Muvanhu vakuru, Neisseria meningitidis neStreptococcus pneumoniae pamwe chete zvinokonzera 80% yezviitiko zvebacterial meningitis. Ngozi yokutapukirwa neListeria monocytogenes inowedzerwa muvanhu vanopfuura makore 50 okukura. Kuiswa kwechirwere chepneumococcal kwakaderedza huwandu hwepneumococcal meningitis muvana nevakuru. Kukuvara kwepfungwa kuchangobva kuitika kunogona kuita kuti mabhakitiriya emukova wemhino apinde munzvimbo ye meningeal. Nenzira yakafanana, zvinhu zviri muuropi nemendengesi, zvakadai semigwagwa yokufambisa tsinga dzouropi, migero yokunze kwedandemutande kana kuti matangi eOmmaya, zvinowedzera ngozi yokuva nemendengitis. Muzviitiko izvi, vanhu vacho vane mukana wakakura wokutapukirwa neStaphylococci, Pseudomonas, uye mamwe mabhakitiriya anonzi Gram- negative. Zvirwere izvi zvinokonzerawo meningitis muvanhu vane zvirwere zvokurwisa zvirwere. Utachiona hwomusoro nomutsipa, hwakadai sehosha inonzi otitis media kana kuti mastoiditis, hunogona kukonzera meningitis muvanhu vashomanana. Vanhu vakagadziriswa cochlear implant kuti vanzwe zviri nani vari pangozi yekubatwa nepneumococcal meningitis. Tuberculous meningitis, iyo inokonzerwa neMycobacterium tuberculosis, inowanzoitika kuvanhu vanobva kunyika dzine tuberculosis, asi inowanikwawo kuvanhu vane zvirwere zvemuviri, zvakadai seAIDS. Recurrent bacterial meningitis inogona kukonzerwa nekuramba ichikanganisika mumuviri, ingava yekuzvarwa nayo kana kuti yakawanikwa, kana kuti nekusagadzikana kwemuviri. Zvikanganiso zvomuviri zvinobvumira kupfuurira pakati pemhoteredzo yokunze negadziriro yetsinga. Chikonzero chinowanzokonzera kupora kwemenenjini chinonyanya kukonzerwa nokuvhunika kwepfupa romusoro, kunyanya kuvhunika kunobata muzasi wepfupa romusoro kana kuti kunosvika kumasinasi nemapiramidhi epetrous. Inenge 59% yezviitiko zve meningitis inodzokororwa inokonzerwa nezvakaipa zvakadaro, 36% inokonzerwa nokushomeka kwemasimba omuviri (akadai sokushomeka kwechikamu, icho chinonyanya kukonzera kuti meningitis inodzokororwa), uye 5% inokonzerwa nehutachiona huripo munzvimbo dziri pedyo nemininges.  Mubvunzo: Zvinhu zvipi zviviri zvinokonzerwa nokukanganisika kwemuviri?
