“…Furthermore, complication rates differ depending on access to medical resources including antimicrobial therapy and advanced diagnostic techniques. The rate of stroke after TBM varies between 15 and 57% [9, 10, 12–24], with lower numbers reported in studies where stroke was identified clinically or by CT [15, 17] and higher numbers in studies in which serial MRIs [10, 14, 16, 21, 22] or autopsies were performed [12, 13]. The previously documented high rates of neurological complications may also reflect the fact that the majority of prior studies were performed in endemic areas, which are typically resource-limited countries with major gaps in healthcare infrastructure; however, in this study more than half of TBM patients died or had a neurological complication even in the United States, a country with general availability of critical care units, specialized healthcare providers including neurosurgeons, advanced neuroimaging, modern laboratory techniques to identify TBM, access to antimicrobial therapy, and rehabilitation centers.…”

“…TBM is associated with a mortality of 19–28% in HIV-uninfected patients and 40–58% in HIV-infected patients [25]. TBM also frequently leads to neurological complications including hydrocephalus [611], stroke [9, 10, 12–24], seizure [5, 6, 9, 24], vision loss [5, 25, 26], and hearing loss [2729]. However, the majority of studies on TBM have been performed in resource-limited settings where there may be suboptimal prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease [25].…”

“…Dans des séries scanographiques ou en IRM portant sur des méningites tuberculeuses, on décrit un ou plusieurs infarctus cérébraux sans 30 à 45 % des cas [4,6-8] et des rétrécissements artériels en angioscanner dans 70 % des cas [6]. L'infarctus cérébral peut révéler la méningite tuberculeuse : pour 3 patients sur 10 chez Javaud et al [2], pour 2/12 chez Chan et al [7], 10/91 chez Sheu et al [8]. Il peut également survenir au cours de l'évolution, et même assez fréquemment pendant les premières semaines de traitement.…”

“…Cette prise de contraste est fréquente, quasi-constante dans les cas de tuberculoses neuroméningées compliquées d'infarctus céré-braux : 9/10 chez Sheu et al [8], 9/10 chez Javaud et al [2]. Il faut pour l'observer penser à effectuer l'injection de produit de contraste, et dans notre cas il a fallu une IRM en haute résolution à un temps tardif.…”
