Utility of PCR assay in diagnosis of en-plaque tuberculoma of the brain.

K K Singh1, M D Nair, K Radhakrishnan, J S Tyagi.   

Abstract

This is the first report of a case in which diagnosis of en-plaque tuberculoma on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings was confirmed by a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex-specific PCR assay of cerebrospinal fluid. The accuracy of the diagnosis was supported by good response to antitubercular drugs, which was shown by repeat MRI studies performed after treatment.
