Modifying Cerebrospinal Fluid Constants for the Tuberculousis Etiology of a Meningitis Case

Tuberculous meningitis is the most lethal form of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, with a high rate of neurological complications and sequelae. We present the case of a 6 years old child diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis based on epidemiological, clinical and biological data and who has rapidly developed neurological complications with persistent fever and headache for a long time. Under tuberculostatic, depletion and corticosteroid treatment, the evolution of the disease was slowly favorable.
