Acute purulent meningitis as a manifestation of cerebral cysticercosis is uncommon. We report two children aged 12 months and 3 years who presented with clinical signs of acute meningitis and whose initial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), except for negative culture, was typical of purulent meningitis. However, eosinophils were present in subsequent examinations of the CSF and the haemagglutination titre for cysticercus rose. Praziquantel was given to both children with dramatic improvement in clinical and CSF findings.
急性化脓性脑膜炎作为脑囊尾蚴病的一种表现并不常见。我们报告了两名年龄分别为12个月和3岁的儿童，他们表现出急性脑膜炎的临床症状，其初始脑脊液（CSF）除培养结果为阴性外，具有典型的化脓性脑膜炎特征。然而，在随后的脑脊液检查中发现了嗜酸性粒细胞，并且囊尾蚴的血凝滴度升高。两名儿童均接受了吡喹酮治疗，临床和脑脊液检查结果均有显著改善。
