Introduction

Tuberculous meningitis is an illness that can be fatal. Patients who are not treated eventually become comatose and die and more than a third of those who are treated die or have serious neurological consequences such as hemiparesis or quadriparesis. A brain abscess, vasculitis, hydrocephalus and other serious consequences might result from the infection. The more serious the problems, the higher the risk of negative outcomes for individuals of all ages. The biggest contribution the physician can make to the patient's prospects of full recovery is prompt diagnosis [1].

Description

Even in well-equipped facilities, however, diagnosis is difficult: At the time of presentation, the symptoms and indications are frequently vague and might be confused with those of other meningoencephalitides. A positive diagnosis requires a CSF examination, although is also required [2]. Detecting bacilli in the CSF may be difficult due to the low concentration. Available sensitivity, especially in youngsters other diagnostic methods, such as CT and MRI, can history and chest radiography may not always aid in differential diagnosis and discriminant findings may be lacking, especially in areas where tuberculosis and HIV infection are common. Because treatment delays can be lethal, WHO guidelines urge that patients with suspected tuberculous meningitis begin empiric medication as soon as possible [3]. To terminate the infection and avoid antibiotic resistance, patients are often given antibiotic regimens that were developed decades ago, not for CNS disease but for lung sickness these therapies lack optimum pharmacological features, such as adequate brain penetration. Patients who are co-infected with HIV with mortality rates of more than and those with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis have extremely difficult management. Most individuals in the latter cohort die within the first weeks of diagnosis. Generally before the findings of culture-based treatment there are drug susceptibility tests available [4].

The Stop TB Partnership seeks to cut death rates in half by compared to and it has correctly prioritised the installation of quick diagnostic tests. However, if tuberculous meningitis is to be eradicated, more sensitive diagnostic tests are required and their performance should be enhanced not just in blood samples which are usually used for tuberculosis diagnosis, but also in CSF. Antibiotic resistance testing in CSF samples must be done quickly. The goal should be to integrate data from these microbiological and molecular tests with data from clinical assessments and neuroimaging into easy diagnostic algorithms. criterion for clinical research with the goal of facilitating comparisons between various settings The criteria define three diagnostic categories certain, likely and possible tuberculous meningitis based on clinical evidence radiological findings, CSF analyses and presentation Only by funding neurological research in these fields can we make progress. Will the Stop TB Partnership's medium-term goal of halving mortality [5].

Conclusion

This accomplishment would be a milestone worth commemorating in the future the first consensus diagnostic was recently defined by an international committee of experts. Mycobacterium tuberculosis-induced central nervous system disease is a rare but terrible symptom of tuberculosis, which was once universally lethal in the absence of ant tuberculosis therapy. CNS tuberculosis affects about of all tuberculosis cases, has a high mortality rate and a high level of neurological morbidity and disproportionately affects children and HIVpositive people. Tuberculosis of the central nervous system remains a difficult diagnosis due to its rarity and the wide range of symptoms. Because CNS tuberculosis is primarily found in resource-poor areas of the world, there are extra hurdles in establishing practical and useable ways to detect and treat this disease.
