Aseptic meningitis is the inflammation of the brain meninges caused by various factors, leading to negative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bacterial cultures. The condition is diagnosed through CSF pleocytosis, with an elevated white blood cell count. Aseptic meningitis is prevalent and typically benign, but the clinical manifestations can vary widely based on the underlying cause and the patient’s immune status. Close evaluation and treatment involving an interprofessional team are crucial for effectively managing patients with aseptic meningitis.This activity explores the diverse etiologies of aseptic meningitis, the broad spectrum of clinical presentations associated with aseptic meningitis, and the significance of an interprofessional approach to patient care. Clinicians engaged in this activity will enhance their diagnostic skills, broaden their understanding of the condition’s complexities, and refine their approach to managing patients with aseptic meningitis. By integrating this knowledge into their clinical practice, clinicians will be better equipped to deliver high-quality care, improving patient outcomes and safety.
