Improving the bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.

Guy E Thwaites1, Tran Thi Hong Chau, Jeremy J Farrar.   

Abstract

We made a bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in 107 of 132 (81%) adults with clinical tuberculous meningitis: acid-fast bacilli were seen in 77 of 132 (58%) and cultured from 94 of 132 (71%). Volume of cerebrospinal fluid, duration of symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils, lactate, and glucose were all independently associated with bacteriological confirmation.
