title: Late elevation of CSF proteins in three cases of mumps meningoencephalitis.
abstract: Three children suffered from mumps meningoencephalitis and pneumonia. The clinical course was uneventful. After 2 weeks antibiotic therapy for pneumonia a repeat lumbar puncture showed a massive increase of CSF protein levels. This phenomenon was transitory. It is explained by an obstruction in CSF pathway in the course of mumps meningoencephalitis.
