Article Synopsis
- Benign recurrent aseptic meningitis is a rare condition marked by recurring episodes of aseptic meningitis that resolve on their own, usually within two to seven days.
- Symptoms include meningeal irritation, fever, and an increase in certain white blood cells (mononuclear cell pleocytosis), and diagnosis comes after ruling out other causes.
- The condition is often associated with the herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV 2), but it's uncertain whether preventive medication is necessary for affected individuals; the text describes a patient facing her seventh episode.
