Aseptic Meningitis
- Viral
- Tuberculosis
- Lyme disease
- Syphilis
- Leptospirosis
- Fungal (AIDS, transplant, chemotherapy, chronic steroid use)
- Noninfectious
Evaluation
- Drug history with focus on time of ingestion and symptom onset
- CSF studies
- Pleiocytosis (primarily neutrophilic)
- Elevated protein levels
- Normal glucose
- Negative cultures
- Challenge test with suspected drug
- Only confirmatory test
- Requires informed written consent
- Due to associated risk, should only be done if suspected drug is irreplaceable
Management
- Discontinuation of offending agent
