J Hedlund et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 1990.

Abstract

We wish to report a 76-year-old woman with 2 episodes of meningitis related to the intake of trimethoprim. On both occasions the patient demonstrated encephalitic symptoms and a pathological electroencephalogram with cerebral function disturbances. A similar case with encephalitic symptoms due to trimethoprim has not been reported earlier.
