  • Title: Acute bacterial meningitis in a patient receiving ibuprofen.
    Author: Tamburini J, Grimaldi D, Bricaire F, Bossi P.
    Journal: J Infect; 2005 Nov; 51(4):336-7. PubMed ID: 16291288.
    Abstract:
    We report an atypical presentation of meningitis due to Neisseria meningitidis in a patient who received large doses of ibuprofen. Anti-inflammatory therapy such as NSAIDs could reduce CSF inflammation and modify the clinical outcome in patients with bacterial meningitis. However, the use of NSAIDs is not recommended in bacterial meningitis due to a lack of studies.
