TUBERCULOSIS AS A CAUSE OF TRANSIENT ASEPTIC MENINGITIS
The Lancet, 1973Abstract The great majority of patients with tuberculous meningitis require prolonged treatment to effect cure, but evidence has accumulated that spontaneous recovery may take place in a small proportion of patients with confirmed tuberculous infection of the cerebrospinal fluid. Four such cases are described.

Streptomycin in Miliary Tuberculosis and Tuberculous Meningitis
Acta Paediatrica, 1949SummaryHematogenic tuberculosis can be healed by streptomycin. The author stresses the fact that up to now only about 10–15 % of the cases have been cured, that a number of factors concerning streptomycin still are obscure, that streptomycin is toxic and that its effect is mainly bacteriostatic.RésuméLa tuberculose hématogéne peut êre guérie par la ...

Primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis mimicking meningeal tuberculosis.
The Neurologist, 2011Primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis (PDLG) is a rare condition, with only 45 cases recorded to date, characterized by infiltration of the meninges by glial cells without evidence of primary tumor in the brain or spinal cord parenchyma.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Meningitis and Other Etiologies of the Aseptic Meningitis Syndrome [PDF]
Seminars in Neurology, 2000 Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious agents in the world. It causes an insidious form of meningitis characterized by headache, low-grade fever, stiff neck and cranial nerve palsies, and an acute meningoencephalitis characterized by coma, raised intracranial pressure, seizures, and focal neurological deficits.

Host and Microbial Predictors of Childhood Extrathoracic Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis Meningitis
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2015Childhood tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease causing morbidity and mortality in children and yet has been largely ignored until recently. This study is the first study to characterize childhood TB in China incorporating both Mycobacterium tuberculosis genetic characteristics and patient data.We analyzed a total of 331 culture-confirmed ...

SIMULTANEOUS OCCURRENCE OF MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS AND TUBERCULOSIS MENINGITIS
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1989Accurate early diagnosis of meningitis and institution of appropriate therapy are matters of urgency. The clinical and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings in viral meningoencephalitis, however, may at times be difficult to distinguish from the early stages of tuberculous meningitis.

Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics for tuberculosis meningitis
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2018Tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) is a prevalent form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of TBM is difficult because of the limited sensitivity of existing laboratory techniques. A metabolomics approach can be used to investigate the sets of metabolites of both bacteria and host, and has been used to ...
