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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

TUBERCULOUS MENINGITIS AND MILIARY TUBERCULOSIS ARRESTED WITH STREPTOMYCIN
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1947Several investigators have shown that streptomycin possesses the ability to suppress a tuberculous process. However, the use of this antibiotic in tuberculous meningitis has resulted in most instances either in failure of response or in an unsatisfactory arrest of the disease, complicated by serious neurologic sequelae.

Tuberculosis versus pyogenic meningitis in a Pakistani population
Indian Journal of Tuberculosis, 2017Research has been going on to formulate diagnostic criteria for TBM. Two criteria that have been studied and validated in high TB prevalence areas are the Youssef criteria (Rule 1) and Thwaites criteria (Rule 2). In our study we aimed to compare the different features of TBM and acute bacterial meningitis.This retrospective study was done at Northwest ...
