Hypoglycorrhagia does not necessarily indicate infection. 1989

M E Dughly, and V P Dhopesh

A case is reported illustrating two points: 1. haemorrhage can occur in cerebral infarct even without the use of anticoagulants; 2. this haemorrhage can extend into the subarachnoid space, causing chemical meningitis, and may produce moderately severe low CSF sugar. The importance of this point is emphasised when faced with a stroke patient who develops fever.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008581	Meningitis	Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome.

D013345	Subarachnoid Hemorrhage	Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC). Clinical features include HEADACHE; NAUSEA; VOMITING, nuchal rigidity, variable neurological deficits and reduced mental status.
