Eosinophilic Meningitis: Eleven-Year Experience at Texas Children's Hospital

Margaret G Taylor et al. J Pediatr. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Eosinophilic meningitis can be caused by various etiologies and is reported mostly in tropical climates. The diagnosis is rare in the continental US, presenting challenges for management. Following a case of pediatric eosinophilic meningitis, we reviewed our 11-year experience with this diagnosis at a large US children's hospital.

Keywords: Baylisascaris procyonis; case series; eosinophilic meningitis; helminths; neural larval migrans.
