Diffuse Meningeal Tuberculosis
JBNC - JORNAL BRASILEIRO DE NEUROCIRURGIA, 2018 A central nervous system infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT), uncommonly seen in immunocompetent patients, brings a diagnose challenge in the modern medicine. Subdural space involvement of MT may simulate neoplastic or inflammatory diseases, bringing a direct influence in the therapeutics.

Gatifloxacin Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics–based Optimal Dosing for Pulmonary and Meningeal Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background Gatifloxacin is used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The optimal dose is unknown. Methods We performed a 28-day gatifloxacin hollow-fiber system model of tuberculosis (HFS-TB) study in order to identify the ...

Large-scale genomic analysis shows association between homoplastic genetic variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes and meningeal or pulmonary tuberculosis [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis. It is largely unknown why some people develop pulmonary TB (PTB) and others TB meningitis (TBM); we examined if the genetic background of infecting M. tuberculosis strains may be relevant.
