Wikipedia definition
2. MeningitisMeningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges.

Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore the condition is classified as a medical emergency.
