Nineteen patients(70%)in the study group had EP,and of these,8 patients (30%)met the criteria for eosinophilic meningitis(greater than or equal to 10 iosinophils/mm3).No correlation was found between EP and age,sex,race, results of complement fixation test for coccidioidal antigen in CSF or serum,peripheral eosinophilia,or outcome.The presence of EP is a frequent observation in CM.Although we did not demonstrate any prognostic correlation with EP,this finding is of major diagnostic significance and its presence should bring attention to the diagnosis of CM. |
