Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify prognostic factors of death in patients with tuberculous meningitis (TM) and show the impact of infection by multidrug-resistant strains on the outcome of this disease. We retrospectively analysed clinical charts of HIV-infected patients with culture-confirmed TM attending our institution during 1996-2004. The following variables were associated with death during hospitalization: neurological signs at admission, a CD4 T-cell count less than 50 cells/microl and infection by multidrug-resistant strains.Entities:
