title = "Adjunctive Corticosteroid Therapy in the Treatment of Coccidioidal Meningitis",
abstract = "Coccidioidal meningitis (CM) has high morbidity, and adjunctive measures to improve outcomes are needed. Using an established multicenter retrospective cohort study of CM (N = 221), we found that patients receiving adjunctive corticosteroids had a significant reduction in secondary cerebrovascular events (P =.0049). Those with CM-associated cerebrovascular events (8%) may benefit from short-term corticosteroids.",
