Meanings: bacteremia = bacteria in the blood stream, never a good thing but you were treated and cured of it, so that is a good thing!! meningitis = inflammation of the tissues surrounding the nerves of your spinal column, maybe bacterial,viral,fungal, chemical. Source, who knows. They think in you it was your sinuses. Will it ever happen again; maybe? But as long as your immune system is good don't worry o
