Introduction. Transient headache and neurologic deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis (HaNDL) is defined as a secondary, nonvascular headache disorder characterized by the findings described in its name. Patients with HaNDL syndrome typically present with gradual onset migrainous headaches of moderate to severe intensity with transient neurological symptoms. Case Report. We discuss a patient who presented with thunderclap headache, recent transient neurologic deficits, and was ultimately diagnosed with HaNDL after an extensive neurologic evaluation. Conclusion. Thunderclap headache has very rarely been described in patients with HaNDL. After excluding emergent and secondary causes, HaNDL should be considered in patients with thunderclap-quality headaches, particularly when there is a history of transient neurological symptoms.

To the Editor.— In a case report, Arditi et al1 d cefuroxime treatment failure in a child with Haemophilus influenzae meningitis. They substituted ceftriaxone for cefuroxime, but they did not mention that ceftniaxone treatment regimens have been associated with two problems. The first is the basis of a case report which described delayed sterilization of H influenzae type B meningitis under management with ceftriaxone.2 The infant had a positive cerebrospinal fluid culture after 3 days (six doses) of ceftriaxone.
