(A) Intracranial pressure (ICP) is significantly increased in pneumococcal cell wall (PCW)-induced meningitis. Increase is inhibited by naratriptan and zolmitriptan started at 0 hours or by zolmitriptan started at 2 hours. (B) Influx of leukocytes into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) associated with PCW-induced meningitis is reduced by triptan treatment. *Indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) compared to untreated meningitis (ANOVA, Duncan post hoc test).
