| ==Overview==
| |
| Viral meningitis pathophysiology depends on the causative agent. Pathogenesis may differ from virus to another.
| |
|
| |
| ==Pathogenesis==
| |
| The causative viral agents can reach the nervous system via the blood or the nerves themselves. There is difference in both pathways pathogenesis. Viral spreading through the blood (viremia) is more common in viral meningitis pathogenesis.
| |
| The initial step in the viral meningitis pathogenesis is the spreading of the virus in the blood which is known as viremia. The viruses first are found in the blood then they replicate in the intestinal and pulmonary mucosa before further replication in the lymph nodes.<ref name="pmid11051293">{{cite journal| author=Rotbart HA| title=Viral meningitis. | journal=Semin Neurol | year= 2000 | volume= 20 | issue= 3 | pages= 277-92 | pmid=11051293 | doi=10.1055/s-2000-9427 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11051293 }} </ref>
