No, anything that happens after several years of the person having meningitis is not in any way connected to meningitis, the acid erosion could be down to the diet he has if it is high in acidity, like fruit juice, fizzy drinks. Milk teeth are also more prone to have acid erosion because the enamel is much weaker than adult teeth.

What are some of the long term side effects of spinal meningitis?
Meningitis may be difficult to diagnose. It may occur as spinal meningitis, bacterial meningitis or viral meningitis. Spinal meningitis can only be confirmed by lumbar puncture. There are two divisions of meningitis -- viral (caused by a virus) and bacterial (caused by one of several types and strains of bacteria residing in the throat or nasal passages). The bacterial form of meningitis is extremely dangerous, fast-moving and has the most potential for being fatal. Left untreated, it usually results in death. Threats to infants and children from meningitis include paralysis or death. In adults there is a risk of circulatory problems as well. For many survivors, the long-term effects can be debilitating, possibly including multiple amputations (caused by gangrene), hearing loss, and kidney damage. Heart damage can result from endocarditis. There can also be neurological problems such as epilepsy and learning difficulties. Many (but not all) forms of bacterial meningitis can be prevented in adults by vaccination.
Was bacterial meningitis eradicated?
Definitely not. Though there are vaccinations targeted at some of the causative bacteria, there are still cases of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a broad term which encompasses any inflammation of the meninges caused by bacterial invasion. While there are several bacteria which are normally to blame, more bacteria other than just those inoculated against can cause this infection.
What deserts are affected by erosion?
All deserts are affected by erosion. There are several different types of erosion, and while the deserts may be unaffected by some of them, such as water erosion, because obviously, deserts don't get much rain. Deserts are affected by wind erosion, though. As the winds blow in the desserts, it wears away at the soil.
