Abstract
A case of meningitis was reported, presenting all the characteristics of the disease described in 1944 by P. Mollaret, occurring in a child aged 2 yr and 8 mo. The cells found in the CSF, photographs of which were included, were fragile and may undergo early lysis. They were present in association with lymphocytes and polynuclears, giving the slide examined a highly characteristic mottled appearance. The morphological similarity of these large cells, with their polygonal contour and small central nucleus, with an epithelium was noted.
