Your publication regarding the association of drugs with CNS disease,
specifically trimethoprim (as well as TMP-SMX), is an timely reminder of
an entity infrequently considered by pediatricians. Too often, when
causative agents are sought but not found, the etiology of a central
nervous system or even a systemic illness, is ascribed to 'a virus.'
Adverse drug reactions may have many presentations. We previously reported
the association of TMP-SMX with central nervous system and systemic
inflammatory response, a report we wish to call to your attention (Pediatr
Infect Dis J 14:76,1995).
