However, eosinophilic meningitis due to &lt;i&gt;Angiostrongylus cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt; is unusual in the pediatric population. We describe the case of a 12-year-old girl from the central area of Vietnam with eosinophilic meningitis due to &lt;i&gt;A. cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt;. The patient lived in a rural area, where farming is widespread, and presented with fever and headache. Laboratory results showed peripheral eosinophilia, a cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count of 730\/mm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;\/sup&gt; with 65% eosinophils. Cerebrospinal fluid ELISA was positive for &lt;i&gt;A. cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt;, and blood ELISA was positive for &lt;i&gt;A. cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt;. The presentation was consistent with a diagnosis of &lt;i&gt;A. cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt; eosinophilic meningitis. The patient recovered fully after administration of albendazole (200 mg\/day for 2 weeks), as well as intravenous dexamethasone (0.6 mg\/kg\/day every 8 h) and mannitol (1.5 g\/kg\/day every 8 h) for the first 3 days, followed by 5 days of oral prednisolone (2 mg\/kg\/day). <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000512809","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,23]],"date-time":"2021-03-23T16:34:20Z","timestamp":1616517260000},"page":"184-189","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Eosinophilic Meningitis due to &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Angiostrongylus cantonensis&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; in Children"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hai\u00a0Thanh","family":"Phan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiem\u00a0Hao","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huu\u00a0Son","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2016.09.058"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciw606"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0146"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trstmh.2008.04.021"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/595852"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2013.51.6.735"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmii.2011.01.034"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02762010000700020"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmi.2016.01.007"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(08)70229-9"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46652013000200012"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e3181c2128c"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00029330-200801010-00013"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2011.0603"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2169\/internalmedicine.50.4193"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.exppara.2009.04.016"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2009.81.443"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/512809","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/512809","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:07:15Z","timestamp":1745424435000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000512809"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000512809","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1662-680X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1662-680X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]]}}}
