Meningitis-retention syndrome (MRS) is a rare disorder where aseptic meningitis is accompanied by urinary retention, which can be easily misdiagnosed as urinary tract infection. We present the case of a 55-year-old man with fever and dysuria. At the time of hospitalization, the patient had no symptoms of meningitis, but signs of meningeal irritation appeared later during the course of the disease. Investigation revealed that this was a case of MRS due to Epstein-Barr virus. We have to consider MRS when examining patients with fever and urinary retention, as dysuria may precede meningitis symptoms.

脑膜炎-潴留综合征(MRS)是一种罕见疾病,无菌性脑膜炎伴有尿潴留,很容易被误诊为尿路感染。我们报告一例55岁男性发热伴排尿困难的病例。住院时患者没有脑膜炎症状,但在病程后期出现了脑膜刺激征。调查显示这是一例由EB病毒引起的MRS。在检查发热伴尿潴留的患者时我们必须考虑MRS,因为排尿困难可能先于脑膜炎症状出现。
