Central Nervous System Tuberculosis

Abstract

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, edema, and exudate in the central nervous system—that produces the clinical manifestations of this disease.
