Ten patients with confirmed tuberculous meningitis were seen at Meilahti Hospital, University of Helsinki, in 1966--1977. Six of the patients had a positive CSF culture for M. tuberculosis, and a positive CSF smear for acid-fast bacilli was found in one case.

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, with an estimated 10.4 million cases and 1.8 million deaths resulting from the disease in 2015. The most lethal and disabling form of tuberculosis is tuberculous meningitis (TBM), for which more than 100,000 new cases are estimated to occur per year.

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.

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.

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

The treatment of tuberculous meningitis [PDF]
Tubercle, 1950 Any review of the treatment of tuberculous meningitis by streptomycin at this stage must be depressing. Human memory is so short that we forget the inevitable and speedy deaths of the years before 1947 and concentrate on the disappointing failures of treatment with streptomycin after 8 or 10 or 14 months of apparent response. It is far too early yet to

Tuberculous meningitis in pregnancy
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1989Summary. Four women with tuberculous meningitis in association with pregnancy are described to illustrate both the serious nature and varied presentation of this condition. Mortality or neurological morbidity may occur more frequently during pregnancy, but in general correlate closely with delay in diagnosis and initiation of appropriate therapy ...

Tuberculous meningitis in infancy [PDF]
Pediatric Neurology, 2002 The 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 ...
