Abstract
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is a commonly prescribed antibiotic that is associated with a number of adverse reactions that can be potentially life threatening. We report a case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with rash, febrile neutropenia and aseptic meningoencephalitis after finishing a course of TMP-SMX. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an otherwise healthy patient presenting with these conditions simultaneously.
