Abstract

We report the first case of acute drug-induced aseptic meningitis (DIAM) due to rifampin in a young female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). DIAM is uncommon and its diagnosis is often difficult. This type of drug hypersensitivity is more frequently observed in patients with a history of auto-immune disease, particularly SLE. The major categories of causative agents are: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antimicrobials, intravenous immunoglobulins and biotherapies.
