Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an Important Cause of Eosinophilic Meningitis in southern Vietnam
We utilised PCR to demonstrate that Angiostrongylus cantonensis was responsible for 67.3% of 55 cases of eosinophilic meningitis from a cohort of 1690 adult patients with CNS infection at a tertiary hospital in southern Vietnam. Longer duration of illness, depressed consciousness and peripheral bloo...

| description | We utilised PCR to demonstrate that Angiostrongylus cantonensis was responsible for 67.3% of 55 cases of eosinophilic meningitis from a cohort of 1690 adult patients with CNS infection at a tertiary hospital in southern Vietnam. Longer duration of illness, depressed consciousness and peripheral blood eosinophilia were associated with PCR positivity. |
