  • Title: Tuberculous meningoencephalitis in a pregnant woman presenting 7 years after removal of a cerebral granuloma.
    Author: Liu C, Christie LJ, Neely J, Gandhi M, Jacobs RA, Bollen A, Glaser CA.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 2008 Mar; 27(3):233-6. PubMed ID: 18034270.
    Abstract:
    We describe the unusual case of a young woman with a history of seizures and a granulomatous, likely tuberculous brain lesion that was surgically removed. She had an uneventful recovery without any additional therapy other than anti-epileptics. Seven years later, she presented during pregnancy with culture-confirmed tuberculous meningoencephalitis. This case highlights the spectrum of tuberculous central nervous system disease and the challenges in diagnosis.
