Define spread .....: Bacterial meningitis is contageous and can be spread in salivary secretions prior to treatment.Once the germ is killed, during or after treatment you cannot spread it.Viral meningitis is often caused by a gut virus that infects the meninges as a secondary issue.You would be contageous during the fever phase but that ends.However, the living virus could be found in stool for a few weeks afterward.
