Abstract

We report a case of ibuprofen-induced meningitis in an otherwise healthy individual. This is the 1st case documenting intrathecal IgG synthesis and immune complex formation in this disorder. The immunopathogenesis remains obscure, but is suggestive of an antigen-specific process requiring the presence of or exposure to ibuprofen.
