Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. How long is the dangerous period for tuberculous meningitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of tuberculosis must adhere to the principles of early detection, regularity, full course, appropriate dosage, and combination therapy. The treatment duration for tuberculous meningitis is 18 to 24 months, which is a long period. Hospitalization generally requires about three months. Spinal tap medication is necessary, and hormone dosage also needs to be gradually reduced. Based on your description, the involvement of multiple organs suggests that the treatment costs will be higher than those for typical tuberculous meningitis. It is necessary to consult with a physician for advice.
