ABSTRACT
Meningitis-retention syndrome (MRS) is a rare disease in which aseptic meningitis is accompanied by urinary retention, which is not as easily understood as urinary tract infection. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with a fever and dysuria. At the time of hospitalization, the patient had no symptoms of meningitis, but symptoms of meningeal irritation appeared later in the course of the disease. Investigations revealed that this was a case of MRS due to Epstein-Barr virus. We should consider MRS when evaluating patients with fever and urinary retention, as dysuria may precede the symptoms of meningitis.
