| Infectious, parasitic causes |
| Roundworm (nematode) infections - commonly present as eosinophilic meningitis |
| Angiostrongylus cantonensis - migrating larvae inherently neurotropic |
| Gnathostoma spinigerum - migrating larvae in visceral and/or neural tissues |
| Baylisascaris procyonis - migrating larvae inherently neurotropic |
| Tapeworm (cestode) infections - may present as eosinophilic meningitis |
| Cysticercosis - cysts develop in CNS and/or visceral tissues |
| Fluke (trematode) infections - occasionally cause eosinophilic meningitis |
| Paragonimus westermani - ectopic spinal or cerebral localization |
| Schistosomiasis - ectopic spinal or cerebral localization |
| Fascioliasis - ectopic CNS localization |
| Other roundworm infections which occasionally cause eosinophilic meningitis |
| Toxocariasis - migrating larvae |
| Nonparasitic, infectious causes |
| Coccidioidomycosis |
| Cryptococcosis - CSF eosinophilia rare |
| Myiasis - with CNS penetration |
| Virus and bacteria - are of uncertain causality |
| Noninfectious causes |
| Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndromes |
| Ventriculoperitoneal shunts |
| Leukemia or lymphoma with CNS involvement (Hodgkin's) |
| Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs |
| Antibiotics - ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, intraventricular gentamicin or vancomycin |
