ABSTRACT
Other causes of meningitis include fungal infections (Cryptococcus neoformans in immunocompromised individuals), prions (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and kuru), protozoa (malaria and toxoplasmosis), malignant invasion and aseptic meningitis (systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis and Mollaret’s syndrome). Mollaret’s syndrome describes recurrent aseptic meningitis characterized by epithelioid cells in the CSF.
