Pleural effusion was observed in two females aged 23 and 40 years: thoracentesis revealed cell counts of 720 and 450 with lymphocyte percentages of 80% and 98%, pleural fluid protein 2 g and 2.2 g, fluid LDH/serum LDH values of 468/691[67%] and 527/1000[52.7%] and ADA values of 28 U and 76 U respectively. The first subject also had a posterior pericardial effusion. There was one woman (28 y) with 28 weeks' gestation, one case of acute pancreatitis following co-infection with dengue [18], one man with a papular rash, one woman (38 y) admitted under surgery for an acute abdomen and another woman (53 y) on antiretroviral therapy. HIV testing performed for lymphocytic meningitis was negative in all the 17 patients. All patients with meningitis had been treated with doxycycline (100 mg BD for 14 days) and a 51year old patient was given chloramphenicol in addition to doxycycline due to lack of defervescence.
