  • Title: Successful Treatment of a Child With Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculous Meningitis.
    Author: Alsleben N, Garcia-Prats AJ, Hesseling AC, Willemse M, Donald PR, Schaaf HS.
    Journal: J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc; 2015 Sep; 4(3):e41-4. PubMed ID: 26407442.
    Abstract:
    Unlike in pulmonary multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, the clinical outcome of MDR tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in children, including extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, is poor and management is challenging. We report the successful treatment of a case of extensively drug-resistant TBM in a 4-year-old girl, and we discuss implications for tuberculosis diagnosis and chemotherapy.
