Rickettsial infection presenting as culture-negative meningitis.

M L Woo1, J W Leung, G L French.   

Abstract

Meningitis is an unusual presentation of rickettsial infection. We report a patient who was confirmed by serology to have typhus fever (not scrub), but who presented with the typical findings of culture-negative bacterial meningitis. Neurological manifestations of different types of rickettsial infection are discussed.
