Info

Tuberculous meningitis (cont.) DIAGNOSIS: • CSF analysis • Chest radiography • CT scan or MRI • Sputum examination • Sputum culture • Tuberculin skin testing
Tuberculous meningitis (cont.) TREATMENT: • If tuberculous meningitis is seriously suspected, treatment should start immediately. • Start with 2 month intensive course of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol followed by 4 months of isoniazid and rifampin. • The use of the corticosteroid (eg, dexamethasone) improves survival but probably does not prevent severe disability. • The hydrocephalus (accumulation of CSF in the brain) may require placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
