Is viral meningitis contagious?

Viral meningitis is infectious.

Viral meningitis is an acute inflammatory disease caused by viral invasion of meninges. Most of it is caused by infection with enterovirus. This virus can be transmitted by faecal mouth route, close contact, etc., and a few can be transmitted through respiratory droplets. In addition, if rain and cold lead to decreased immunity, it may also induce viral meningitis.

It is recommended to actively vaccinate measles, chickenpox, mumps and influenza to prevent viral meningitis. At ordinary times, personal hygiene should also be paid attention to, and indoor ventilation should be frequent.
