Abstract

We describe one case of eosinophilic meningitis (EM) in a traveler returning from Santo Domingo, presumably caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Treatment with mebendazole and steroids was effective. The presence of persistent headache, fever, and eosinophilia in travelers who return from developing countries should alert clinicians to the possibility of EM.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In a patient with A. cantonensis infection, mebendazole treatment could not be continued because of accentuation of symptoms after the first dose; the patient was switched to steroid therapy.

    “Leone et al. [130] could not continue mebendazole treatment in a patient because of accentuation of the symptoms after the first dose of mebendazole; the patient was switched to steroid therapy.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
