A member asked:
Once you have recovered from meningitis is it still possible to get it again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Meningitis is due to an infection by a virus or bacteria, and rarely, by a fungus. Just like to can get a cold or orther infection more than once, you can get meningitis more than once.
