- After inadequate results from antibiotics and anti-inflammatory treatments, he was started on prednisone and referred to rheumatology for further management of his recurrent ear issues.

Cerebrospinal fluid examination at admission revealed reduced glucose concentration and elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level, whereas serum sIL-2R level was within the normal range.
