The underlying cause of this cluster of findings may be initially difficult to determine. Syphilis, cryptococcosis, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or invasion of the meninges by cancer cells may be responsible. Occasionally, repeated lumbar punctures reveal a vasculitis of the central nervous system or a partially treated bacterial meningitis."}
