We reported a 50-year-old woman with a history of mixed connective tissue disease. She had two episodes of meningitis-like symptoms after taking famotidine and tiquizium bromide for treatment of
gastric ulcer
. From CSF findings (elevated pressure, increase of protein, polymorphonuclear pleocytosis, negative culture) and result of famotidine challenge test, we diagnosed her as a drug induced
aseptic meningitis
. Because she had taken tiquizium bromide several times previously without any side effects, we concluded that famotidine was a causative drug. She was recovered without sequelae within a few days following cessation of these drugs. This is the first report of H2-blocker induced
aseptic meningitis
. When we encounter a patient with
aseptic meningitis
who presents polymorphonuclear pleocytosis in CSF, we should suspect drug induced
aseptic meningitis
and take a history of drug medication including H2-blocker.
