Abstract

We aimed to provide a clinical case presentation of aseptic meningitis as an extrahepatic manifestation of hepatitis C. A 28-year-old lady has been admitted to the Regional Clinical Center of Neurosurgery and Neurology, Uzhhorod City, Ukraine, with mild meningeal signs and symptoms upon admission. Complex neurological, clinical, laboratory, and imaging examination was performed within 24 hours of admission. Mononuclear pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid and positive express test on HCV were discovered. The patient was treated and showed full recovery. Specific neurological features of aseptic meningitis as an extrahepatic manifestation of hepatitis C in a young white adult were reported, described, and analyzed.
