Abstract

We describe one case of eosinophilic meningitis (EM) in a traveler returning from Santo Domingo, presumably caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Treatment with mebendazole and steroids was effective. The presence of persistent headache, fever, and eosinophilia in travelers who return from developing countries should alert clinicians to the possibility of EM.

摘要

我们描述了一例从圣多明各归来的旅行者患嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎（EM）的病例，推测由广州管圆线虫引起。用甲苯达唑和类固醇治疗有效。从发展中国家归来的旅行者若出现持续性头痛、发热和嗜酸性粒细胞增多，临床医生应警惕嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎的可能性。
