Tuberculous Meningitis During Chemotherapy for Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Keyword(s):
The report of a case of tuberculous meningitis developing during the course of chemotherapy for pulmonary tuberculosis, by Lintermans and Seyhnaeve,1 illustrates the importance of drug susceptibility testing of the infecting organism. Initial cultures isolated from the gastric washings in this case were not tested for drug susceptibility, but subsequent cultures isolated from the spinal fluid after 33½ months of therapy proved to be isoniazid resistant. The authors state that "this complication (meningitis) developed despite specific chemotherapy and corticosteroids for active pulmonary tuberculosis."
