Central nervous system tuberculosis in children

Pediatric Neurology, 1991
The incidence of tuberculosis in the United States is increasing in all age groups; 5% of all of these patients have central nervous system involvement. We studied childhood central nervous system tuberculosis between 1979 and 1989 and reviewed the literature for patients up to 14 years of age.

HIV-Associated Central Nervous System Tuberculosis

Seminars in Neurology, 2014
Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) represents one of the most devastating manifestations of TB. HIV dramatically increases the risk of TB disease, including CNS TB. Early recognition and treatment of CNS TB, and TB meningitis in particular, is of critical importance to reducing disability and death associated with CNS TB.

Central System Nervous Tuberculosis in Infants

Journal of Child Neurology, 2009
The lack of specific symptoms and signs in patients with tuberculous meningitis makes early diagnosis difficult. In this report, we reviewed the clinical features and laboratory findings of 6 infants with central system nervous tuberculosis during a 10-year period. One of the patients had multifocal tuberculosis. The mean time to the diagnosis was 32 ±

Central Nervous System Tuberculosis

1988
Many of the symptoms, signs, and sequelae of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are the result of an immunologically directed inflammatory reaction to the infection.1 Although a mycobacterial infection is the inciting cause of the illness, it is the resulting inflammation of the meninges—which is responsible for the damage to blood vessels, scar formation ...

Central nervous system tuberculosis in adult patients

Orvosi Hetilap, 2011
Central nervous system tuberculosis is the fifth most frequent and at the same time most severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis diseases. It presents with no typical signs, thus early diagnosis and treatment is of high importance concerning the outcome.

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUBERCULOSIS: Imaging Manifestations

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2000
Tuberculosis of the brain is a disease of pathologic complexity and clinical subtlety-characteristics that manifest in the radiologic presentation of the disease and may make the task of interpreting radiologic data difficult. Much of the difficulty, however, reflects differences between the pathologic processes of tuberculosis and other infective ...

Central Nervous System Tuberculosis: An Imaging Perspective

Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal, 2017
The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in recent years makes the disease a topic of universal concern. It has insidious onset and can affect virtually any organ system in the body, including the central nervous system (CNS). CNS tuberculosis (TB) is becoming more and more complex and atypical

MR IMAGING OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUBERCULOSIS

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1995
TB involving the CNS and its coverings is a complex and potentially devastating disease. The increasing incidence of this disease in both immunologically normal as well as immunologically incompetent populations makes the subject of TB one of universal concern.
