Chronic meningitis is a common syndrome with multiple aetiological causes. It can be associated with visionproblems as well as multifocal involvement of the central nervous system. Often it presents with constitutional symptoms as well. The intervention commonly practised in a tropical country like India is starting antitubercular therapy with corticosteroids. This practice though may be correct in a majority of situations, may lead to diagnostic delay and may be fatal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
