TB Meningitis - A Diagnostic Dilemma.
Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;5(3,4):208-10.

Tuberculous meningitis is a dangerous disease, which results in a high morbidity and mortality especially if untreated. It is difficult to diagnose without specialized tests. The detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis genome in the cerebrospinal fluid via the polymeraze chain reaction test serves a useful test for early diagnosis. Although the availability is limited and it is expensive, but when the diagnosis is doubtful it should be done whenever possible.
