Day #292 - Meningoencephalitis


Today we discussed a few issues:

  1. The developing influenza outbreak (see previous blogs on influenza). A review of the neurologic manifestations of influenza infection is available here.
  2. A case of meningoencephalitis (see TWH blog), presumably due to mumps (though I have my reservations as the parotid enlargement classically predates the encephalitis and the IgM is still pending!)
  3. TB Meningitis was discussed given the epidemiology.
