Tuberculous hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis. A rare manifestation of miliary TB. Case report and review
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, ranking as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease. Central nervous system (CNS) TB, although rare, accounts for approximately 1% of all TB cases and can manifest as tuberculous meningitis, tuberculoma, abscess, or less commonly, hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis. We report a case of hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis secondary to TB, a rare but serious complication.
