Tuberculous Meningitis, Short Course of Chemotherapy Arch Neurol 47:1313-1317, Alarcon,F.,et al, 1990 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Despite the administration of an antituberculous therapy,32.4%of the patients died;all of the deceased had reached the last stage of the disease by the beginning of treatment.Sixteen percent of the patients who survived after more than 18 months of follow-up after therapy had ended suffered neurological sequelae.With the 6-month therapeutic regimen,the morbidity/mortality is similar to that found in the longer-course therapies.The latter regimen is therefore thought to be a good and acceptable therapeutic option for the treatment of tuberculous meningitis.
