Drug-induced aseptic meningitis: diagnosis and management.
Drug-induced aseptic meningitis (DIAM) has been reported as an uncommon adverse reaction with numerous agents. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, and clinical signs and CSF findings vary greatly. The body of evidence regarding DIAM is largely in the form of anecdotal case reports and must be interpreted carefully bearing this in mind. The major categories of causative agents are nonsteroidal anti-...
متن کاملThe challenge of drug-induced aseptic meningitis.
Several drugs can induce the development of aseptic meningitis. Drug-induced aseptic meningitis (DIAM) can mimic an infectious process as well as meningitides that are secondary to systemic disorders for which these drugs are used. Thus, DIAM constitutes a diagnostic and patient management challenge. Cases of DIAM were reviewed through a MEDLINE literature search (up to June 1998) to identify p...
متن کاملDrug-induced aseptic meningitis, sensorineural hearing loss and vestibulopaty.
We report clinically rare and serious adverse reactions that occurred after the co-administration of ranitidine, ibuprofen and ciprofloxacin: completely reversible aseptic meningitis and irreversible bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibulopathy. Recurrent urinary inflammations treated with antibacterials, classic familial migraine, and allergy to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxaz...
متن کاملThe challenge of drug-induced aseptic meningitis revisited.
Results | Four groups of drugs continue to be associated with DIAM (Table 1): nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, immunosuppressiveimmunomodulatory (IS-IM), and antiepileptic drugs.1 Prior exposure to the associated drug was present in 26% to 35% of cases (Table 1). The interval between exposure and meningitis ranged from minutes to 5 months (Table 1). Most patients pres...
متن کاملA Differential Diagnosis of Drug-Induced Aseptic Meningitis
A septic meningitis refers to a nonbacterial inflammation of the leptomeninges.1 Viruses are the most common cause of aseptic meningitis, and the most common viruses that cause aseptic meningitis are enteroviruses. Drug-induced aseptic meningitis is rare but probably more common than the literature would suggest; therefore, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningit...
