Patient's question:
I would like to inquire about the symptoms of tuberculous meningitis, as I am feeling mentally unwell and physically weak.Doctor's answer:
Tuberculous meningitis is a disease primarily caused by the infection of tuberculosis bacteria. It can enter the brain through the bloodstream or other pathways, damaging the meninges, and not only that, the brain parenchyma may also be affected. Patients typically exhibit symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue, and fever. In severe cases, it may affect the central nervous system, subsequently impacting the patient's vision. If diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis, it is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible.
