Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bacteriological confirmation of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is problematic, and rarely guides initial clinical management. A uniform TBM case definition has been proposed for research purposes. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled patients aged 3 months to 13 years with meningitis confirmed using cerebrospinal fluid analysis at Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. Criteria that differentiated...
