| ==Classification==
| |
| Meningitis could be classified to two main groups based on etiology:
| |
| *Infectious
| |
| *Non-infectious
| |
| ===Infectious meningitis===
| |
| Infectious meningitis may be classified as the following algorithm based on chronicity of symptoms.<br><br>
| |
| {{familytree/start}}
| |
| {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A01 |A01='''Infectious Meningitis'''}}

| |
| {{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| | | | |,|-|-|-|v|-|^|-|v|-|-|-|.|}}

| |
| {{familytree/end}}<br>
| |
| | |
| ===Non-infectious meningitis===
| |
| Systemic illnesses, such as malignancies and connective tissue diseases (e.g. [[sarcoidosis]], [[SLE]], and [[Granulomatosis with polyangiitis|wegener's]]) may involve meninges in their course and present as chronic meningitis.
| |
| | |
| Certain drugs may cause meningeal irritation and resemble as meningitis including:
| |
| * [[Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs]] (NSAIDs)
| |
| * [[Intravenous immunoglobulin]]
| |
| * [[Intrathecal]] agents
| |
| * Certain antibiotics (eg, [[Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim|trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole]])
