Tuberculous MeningitisCHCUMSDIVISION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND DIVISION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND GASTROENTEROLOGYGASTROENTEROLOGYNovember 24th,20041Tuberculous MeningitisNovemberEPIDEMIOLOGY-TBM Tuberculous Meningitis(TBM)u The younger the children,the more readily to develop TBM.u 60%in Children aged 1-3 yearsu Death rate:15-30%2EPIDEMIOLOGY-TBM 2TBM(Tuberculous meningitis)u TBM is the most serious complication of tuberculosis in children and is usually fatal without treatment.u TBM always be a part of systemic disseminated tuberculosis.u TBM often occurs within 1 year of initial infection,especially in the first 2 to 6 months of infection.3TBM(Tuberculous meningitis)TTuberculous BacilliPrimary ComplexBacteremiaRich FociSubarachnoid SpaceBrain or Spinal Cord

of varolius,bulbus rhachidicus and Sylvian fissure.u Basal meningitis accounts for the frequent dysfunction of cranial nerves III,VI,and VII.6PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTSSubarachnoPATHOLOGICAL EFFECTSCerebral ParenchymaTuberculous meningoencephalitisuswelling and hyperemia of the parenchyma contribute to the intracranial hypertension,then ischemia of parenchyma occur,finally lead to the foci of encephalomalacia and necrosis.Hemiplegia may be present because of this change.uMeninges,spinal,and spinal nerve root also involvement.The later always leads to paraplegina.7PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTSCerebral PPATHOLOGICAL EFFECTSCerebral VesselsuThe bacteria invade the adventitia directly in the early stage and initiate the process of acute vasculitis.uProgressive destruction of adventitia,disruption of elastic fibers,and finally intimal destruction(endoarteritis),lead to the obliterative vasculitis,which may facilitate the ischemia,encephalomalacia and necrosis of parenchyma.8PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTSCerebral VCirculation of CSFChoroid plexusLateral ventricleInterventricular foramenthe 3rd ventricleCerebral aqueduct4th ventricle2 Lateral foramina1 Medial

surface of the brain stem.11In tuberculous meningitis therCLINICAL MANIFESTIONS A.Prodrome(1-2 week)1.Fever,fatigue,malaise,myalgia,drowsiness,headache,vomiting2.Mental status changes3.Focal
