BACKGROUND
Cerebral infarction in tuberculous meningitis is a major risk factor for permanent disability. This study assessed the clinical presentation of tuberculous meningitis and risks factors for cerebral infarction.
METHODS
Thirty-eight adult patients with tuberculous meningitis were studied
BACKGROUND
Cerebral infarction (CI) complicating tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a major risk factor of permanent disability. The prevention of this complication is an important issue in the quality care of TBM patients.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of TBM patients
Introduction: Although tuberculous meningitis is an uncommon presentation of tuberculosis, it still remains one of the deadliest forms of this disease. In this context, the occurrence of a cerebral infarct is an aggravating

The case is reported of a patient presenting with recurrent acute myocardial infarction due to stent thrombosis resulting from possible clopidogrel resistance caused by interaction between clopidogrel and anti-tuberculosis drugs. A brief overview of drug interaction as a risk factor for clopidogrel
OBJECTIVE

METHODS
Prospective, controlled, randomized study.

Successful heart-lung complex transplantation was performed in a 48-year-old man. During the postoperative period, M. tuberculosis infection was diagnosed, and the treatment subsequently started. One year after, the patient was urgently hospitalized due to myocardial infarction. However, despite the
Pediatric tuberculous meningitis (TBM) leads to high rates of mortality and morbidity. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment are challenging; imaging findings play a key role in establishing the presumptive diagnosis. General brain imaging findings are well reported; however, specific data on
Tuberculosis remains one of the most common and important infectious diseases in the world. Between 1% and 2% of children with untreated tuberculosis infection will develop tuberculous meningitis. In 1997, 186 cases of tuberculous meningitis were reported in the United States. The initial clinical
We present clinical manifestations, bacteriologic characteristics, and outcomes for eight patients with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculous meningitis and AIDS. All developed meningitis as a terminal complication of previously diagnosed MDR-TB despite anti-tuberculosis therapy. Seven patients
Subacute disseminated histoplasmosis is an uncommon entity. Typical neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations are usually secondary to histoplasmomas or encephalitis. A 45-year-old man noted blurred vision while receiving empiric antituberculosis therapy for fever and diffuse granulomatous disease of
