A Case Report of Antibiotic-Induced Aseptic Meningitis in Psoriasis.

Although frequently prescribed, certain antibiotics such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole carry the risk of a rare yet life-threatening adverse effect, termed drug-induced aseptic meningitis. Morbidity can be avoided if the medication is identified and discontinued. Patients in reported cases tend to be female and have an autoimmune disease or prior adverse reaction to the offending agent.
