We describe an AIDS patient who had a recurrence of
Pseudomonas meningitis
to illustrate three points. First, the use of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim in AIDS patients for prophylaxis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia may cause the various body sites to be colonized with resistant species such as P aeruginosa. Second,
Pseudomonas meningitis
can recur in a patient with AIDS after a month of appropriate therapy. Finally, imipenem is a poor choice for
Pseudomonas meningitis
, even when alternative therapies appear much less attractive. High doses of imipenem should not be used for fear of
seizures
, and lower doses only produce resistant organisms in the CSF.
