    AbstractIatrogenic meningitis can be caused by a number of mechanisms.

Cases were caused by contaminated lots of methylprednisolone from a single compounding pharmacy. Several medications can cause meningitis by probable hypersensitivity mechanism. Neurologists should be alert to the recent description of the use of lamotrigine and development of aseptic meningitis.
