Abstract

pneumococcal meningitis pneumococcal cell wall components aseptic meningitis chronic aseptic meningitis innate immunity
We report the case of a 9-months-old boy that has presented a steroid-dependent post-pneumococcal chronic aseptic meningitis was associated with persistence of pneumococcal cell wall components in cerebrospinal fluid during more than 20 months. Suggesting that this antigenic persistence could be involved in post-infectious manifestations through innate immunity response.
