  • Title: Metrizamide meningitis.
    Author: White WB.
    Journal: South Med J; 1984 Jan; 77(1):88-9. PubMed ID: 6695228.
    Abstract:
    A 39-year-old man had fever, nuchal rigidity, vomiting, and mental confusion within 24 hours after myelography with metrizamide, a water-soluble contrast medium. Cloudy cerebrospinal fluid showing pleocytosis, a significantly elevated level of protein, and a low glucose value suggested septic meningitis, but rapid resolution of signs of meningeal irritation and negative spinal fluid cultures made chemical meningitis due to the metrizamide the likely diagnosis.
