pubmed:abstractText |
Symptomatic aseptic, chemical meningitis is a rare complication of myelography. Its acute clinical course and standard laboratory findings are indistinguishable from those of bacterial meningitis. The authors present a case of severe postmyelographic chemical meningitis and compare CSF and serum inflammatory markers to a group of seven patients with proven bacterial meningitis. As in viral meningitis, procalcitonin might be able to discriminate between bacterial and chemical causes of CNS inflammation.
