Abstract
A typical case of Mollaret''s meningitis (MM) is described. The disease is characterized by frequently recurring attacks of lymphocytic meningitis. These attacks are always brief and accompanied by fever and meningeal irritation without gross disturbance of the general state. The CSF [cerebral spinal fluid] shows an increase of lymphocytes and large so-called endo-thelial cells with relative decrease of sugar. After some months or years the attacks cease without leaving evidence of any neurological defect. MM is undoubtedly a clinical disease entity. Its recognition is of practical importance because of its favorable prognosis which helps to avoid the unnecessary anxiety of doctor and patient and the various polypragmatic diagnostic and therapeutic attitudes, which usually result.
