Eosinophilic meningitis may be due to infectious or noninfectious etiologies. Parasitic infections cause this entity most frequently and of the noninfectious causes, medications play an important role. We describe a 32-year-old male who developed eosinophilic meningitis while receiving intravenous vancomycin. No other apparent cause of the eosinophilic meningitis was appreciated. This case represents the first description of eosinophilic meningitis due to systemic vancomycin.
嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎可能由感染性或非感染性病因引起。寄生虫感染是导致这种病症最常见的原因，在非感染性病因中，药物起着重要作用。我们描述了一名32岁男性，在接受静脉注射万古霉素时发生了嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎。未发现嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎的其他明显病因。该病例是全身性应用万古霉素导致嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎的首次报道。
