  • Title: Drug resistant tuberculous meningitis in the Philippines: report of a case.
    Author: Watt G, Selkon JB, Bautista S, Laughlin LW.
    Journal: Tubercle; 1989 Jun; 70(2):139-41. PubMed ID: 2515644.
    Abstract:
    A fatal case of tuberculous meningitis caused by a multiply-resistant tubercle bacillus is described, the first such case from Southeast Asia. Increased efforts to isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the cerebrospinal fluid and determine the extent and pattern of drug resistance are necessary if the high mortality from this disease is to be reduced.
