BACKGROUND
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is an uncommon immune-related disease with unknown causes. It is characterized by inflammation of cartilaginous or non-cartilaginous structures, such as the ears, nose, respiratory tract, eyes, and joints. Neurological involvement is rare in RP.
CASE PRESENTATION
We report a case of pleocytosis in a 64-year-old man diagnosed as having RP with meningoencephalitis. The patient's condition markedly improved following methylprednisolone treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge, this is the first report of recurrent pleocytosis in a patient with RP accompanied by meningoencephalitis. Steroid pulse therapy is effective in most cases, and early diagnosis is of importance.
背景
复发性多软骨炎（RP）是一种病因不明的罕见免疫相关疾病。其特征是软骨或非软骨结构发炎，如耳朵、鼻子、呼吸道、眼睛和关节。RP患者神经系统受累罕见。
病例报告
我们报告一例64岁男性被诊断为患有RP合并脑膜脑炎，脑脊液细胞增多。患者经甲泼尼龙治疗后病情明显改善。
结论
据我们所知，这是首例RP合并脑膜脑炎患者反复出现脑脊液细胞增多的报告。大多数情况下，类固醇冲击疗法有效，早期诊断很重要。
