title: Case reports: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole-induced meningitis in patients with HIV infection.
abstract: Meningitis is a frequent complication of the human immunodeficiency infection. Possible causes include bacterial, fungal, mycobacterial, syphilitic, and vital pathogens (including the human immunodeficiency virus). Drugs must also be considered in the differential diagnosis. Two patients with probable trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole-induced meningitis are described in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
