Inflammation of both the joints and the meninges (membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord), often caused by infection.
From Greek 'arthro-' meaning joint, 'meninges' meaning membranes, and '-itis' meaning inflammation, describing simultaneous inflammation in both areas.
Arthromeningitis is a serious condition where bacteria or viruses attack both joints and the nervous system—which is why fevers with joint pain and neck stiffness send people to emergency rooms immediately.
