Description

Ibrahim Farhood and four co-authors present a case report from twenty twenty-six on meningitis caused by a common antibiotic, in a father and his daughter. The illness is sterile: the brain lining swells with no germ found. Both came to the same clinic years apart with days of severe headache. Each had just taken amoxicillin for a chest or ear infection.

Spinal fluid in both held high white cells with no pathogen found. Wide checks ruled out other causes. The daughter had two such bouts, each after the drug. The team flags the drug as a cause to weigh in like cases. A family trait may sit behind the pair, they note.
