Abstract
Skin rash and depigmentation are common in patients with meningitis and meningoencephalitis. Skin changes must always be evaluated in conjunction with the clinical symptoms, signs, brain imaging, and laboratory abnormalities, particularly the features of the CSF pleocytosis. The purpose of this montage is to help the clinician identify a specific etiologic agent as early as possible.
