    Background:

    • Chronic meningitis presents diagnostic challenges with significant morbidity and mortality.
    • Family physicians are often the initial point of contact for patients with this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of diagnosing chronic meningitis.
    • To outline key clinical and cerebrospinal fluid findings.
    • To discuss common and emerging etiologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of chronic meningitis.

    • Common symptoms include meningeal signs, altered mentation, seizures, and cranial nerve palsies.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid typically shows elevated protein and lymphocytic pleocytosis.
    • Tuberculous and fungal infections are leading causes, with metastatic carcinoma increasingly recognized.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of chronic meningitis are imperative due to high mortality.
    • Familiarity with clinical signs and CSF analysis aids in early detection.
    • Awareness of diverse etiologies, including infections and malignancy, is essential for effective management.
