    Meningitis simply means inflammation of the meningies. The meningies is the covering of the brain and spinal cord and can be inflamed from numerous sources. This includes viruses and bacteria, but also trauma.

    Meningitis is not the same as mumps/chicken pox/measles etc which are a specific pathogen. Therefore, yes, you can get meningitis more than once as many different things can be the cause.
