Resumo

As meningites crónicas são processos inflama­tórios das meninges, com uma evolução superi­or a 4 semanas, englobando etiologias infeccio­sas e não infecciosas. A sua frequência, embora inferior à das meningites agudas, tem aumenta­ do nos últimos anos, sobretudo na população de doentes imunodeprimidos. Os autores abordam as características clínicas, bem como o diagnós­tico diferencial destas situações.
