Aseptic Meningitis (C0025290)

Definition (MSHFRE) Syndrome caractérisé par des céphalées, une rigidité de la nuque, un fébricule, une pléïocytose lymphocytaire du LCR sans multiplication bactérienne aiguë. La méningite virale en est la cause la plus fréquente mais on peut retrouver des infections à mycoplasmes, à rickettsies. Il peut être secondaire à des investigations cliniques ou thérapeutiques, à des processus néoplasiques ou à des foyers periméningés septiques. D'autres étiologies peuvent être responsables de ce syndrome. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p745)
Definition (MSH) A syndrome characterized by headache, neck stiffness, low grade fever, and CSF lymphocytic pleocytosis in the absence of an acute bacterial pathogen. Viral meningitis is the most frequent cause although MYCOPLASMA INFECTIONS; RICKETTSIA INFECTIONS; diagnostic or therapeutic procedures; NEOPLASTIC PROCESSES; septic perimeningeal foci; and other conditions may result in this syndrome.
