Overview

Observational study found a 40.8% mortality rate in patients with tuberculous meningitis, indicating critical predictors like low GCS and CSF glucose levels.

Key Points

  • Mortality rate was 40.8%, reflecting the severity of tuberculous meningitis.
  • Common symptoms included fever (96.7%) and altered mental status (86.2%).
  • Lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores on admission significantly predicted mortality outcomes.
  • Radiological findings such as meningeal enhancement were observed in 69.7% of cases.
