Prevalence of primary immunodeficiency syndromes in tuberculous meningitis: A case-control study
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2022 Background: Only a proportion of patients with tuberculosis develop tuberculous meningitis. We hypothesize that inherent abnormalities in the host’s innate or adaptive immune system may affect the outcome in tuberculous meningitis.

Paradoxical Tuberculomas Complicating Tuberculous Meningitis: About Two Cases
Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2018 Paradoxical tuberculomas in patients with tuberculous meningitis during antituberculous chemotherapy is an unusual phenomenon. This reaction is due to the immune response of the host to antituberculous drugs. It is commonly seen in the intensive phase of

A study of a deterministic model for meningitis epidemic [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A compartmental deterministic model that allows (1) immunity from two stages of infection and carriage, and (2) disease induced death, is used in studying the dynamics of meningitis epidemic process in a closed population. It allows for difference in the transmission rate of infection to a susceptible by a carrier and an infective. It is generalized to

Tuberculous meningitis in the elderly [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1984 Summary Six cases of tuberculous meningitis, all occurring in patients over the age of 65, are described. All patients presented with an acute illness, primarily with a confusional state. Headache was a symptom in only two patients and the cases were not confined to ethnic minority groups. The mortality was 50%.

Modern views on the course of tuberculous meningitis [PDF]
, 2022 Currently, some features of the course of tuberculous meningitis are observed. At the present stage, the meningoencephalitis form prevails, rapid generalization of the process, the absence of specific symptoms in the cerebrospinal fluid characteristic of

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of central nervous system infections are critical. This study introduces a deep‐learning model utilizing cerebrospinal fluid immune‐cell morphology captured via 3D holotomography. The model effectively predicts infection etiology and prognosis, achieving high accuracy.
