Aseptic meningitis caused by Leptospira australis

D Torre et al. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

Meningeal involvement in leptospiral infection is quite common, usually mild and often overlooked. In contrast, cases of isolated involvement of the central nervous system, including aseptic meningitis, have been reported only rarely. A case of a patient with acute aseptic meningitis caused by Leptospira australis serovar bratislava is reported. This is believed to be the first report of aseptic meningitis due to Leptospira australis. This case indicates the need to consider human leptospirosis in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningitis.
