Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the most common cause of eosinophilic meningitis. Although a rare condition among travelers, increased travel and global transportation of food products may result in more cases across non-endemic, developed countries in the future. We here describe two men with headache and painful skin after visiting the Philippines as presenting symptoms. Subsequently, confusion and focal neurologic symptoms developed. Both had increased serum eosinophils; however, CSF eosinophilia was only demonstrated after repeated lumbar puncture. In the CSF of both, Angiostrongylus spp. DNA was detected. Both were treated with albendazole combined with corticosteroids, after which symptoms improved.
