Abstract excerpt

Inhalation is the principal mode of entry for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans. Primary infection is usually restricted to the lungs and contiguous lymph nodes. In a subset of infected individuals, predominantly children, the infection is spread hematogenously to the meninges. The host factors that influence the development of tuberculous meningitis have not been well elucidated. The mannose-binding protein...
