Tuberculous meningitis is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The exact incidence and prevalence are not known. In countries with high burden of pulmonary tuberculosis, the incidence is expected to be proportionately high. Children are much more vulnerable.

Tuberculous (TB) meningitis is common in resource-poor communities but also occurs in developed countries where the diagnosis is frequently delayed because of unfamiliarity with the disease. TB meningitis develops whenever a small intracranial tuberculoma (Rich focus) ruptures causing predominantly basal meningitis.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1990
Tuberculous meningitis is an uncommon but potentially devastating form of tuberculosis. Current antituberculous drugs are highly effective when treatment is initiated early, before the onset of altered mentation or focal neurologic deficits. Because the clinical outcome depends greatly on the stage at which therapy is initiated, early recognition is of

Medical Clinics of North America, 1985
Tuberculous meningitis arises from the discharge of bacilli from a subjacent caseous focus into the subarachnoid space. Meningeal involvement is most marked at the base of the brain. The clinical spectrum is very broad and the outcome of therapy depends mainly on the stage of disease at the time treatment is instituted.

Neuroimaging in tuberculous meningitis
Neurology India, 2016Tuberculous meningitis is a serious infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Early diagnosis is the key to success of treatment. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the early and accurate diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis and its disabling complications. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered superior to computed tomography.

The treatment of tuberculous meningitis
Tubercle, 1956Summary Two hundred and thirty consecutive unselected cases of tuberculous meningitis have been treated at Oxford and observed for at least one year. The first 80 patients were treated with streptomycin alone and the survival rate was 52 per cent.

Tuberculous meningitis in children
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002Initial empiric treatment for central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis should include four antituberculous drugs until results of cultures and sensitivities are available. Treatment should include isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and either ethambutol or streptomycin. Total treatment should extend for 12 months.

Tuberculous meningitis in infancy
Pediatric Neurology, 2002The lack of specific symptoms and signs in patients with tuberculous meningitis makes early diagnosis difficult. To our knowledge, there has been no report in the literature focusing on tuberculous meningitis patients younger than 1 year of age. In this report, we reviewed the clinical features and laboratory findings of seven infants with tuberculous ...
