If i had bacteremia/meningitis from sinuses- did i get meningitis 1st from sinuses then it caused the bacteremia? or other way around? confused

Discuss with doctor: Are you the same person who also asked about viral meningitis? Confusing because viral meningitis is not associated with bacteremia. In any case, if you also had sinusitits or bactermia, it could be that one didn't actually cause the other. This is a complicated medical issue, no way for a distant forum moderator to know the answers. Discuss with your doctor(s). Good luck and happy new year.

Anslining of the bra: Meningitis is a bacteria infection in the lining of the brain. The bacteria most likely from your sinus traveled to the lining of the brain and thus your illness very dangerous to you so you did well
