Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the most common cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide. We describe 2 cases among young children from Sydney, Australia, where locally acquired infection of children has not been reported previously. Both cases manifested as severe hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, one resulting in death. Angiostrongyliasis must be considered in acute neurological presentations occurring among individuals who live in endemic areas.
广州管圆线虫是全世界最常见的嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎病因。我们描述了来自澳大利亚悉尼的 2 例年幼患儿病例，此前该地并未报告过儿童本地获得性感染。这两例均表现为严重的出血性脑膜脑炎，其中一例导致死亡。在流行地区出现急性神经表现的患者，必须考虑到血管圆线虫病。
