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. Can tuberculous meningitis, which has been cured for two and a half years, still recur?Doctor's answer:
Regarding what you mentioned about tuberculous meningitis, it cannot be inherited across generations. This disease is acquired through exposure to pathogens, usually resulting from contact with contaminated substances, which then triggers symptoms. It may also occur when the pathogens enter the brain, leading to meningitis. This condition typically resolves on its own after recovery. However, the severity of the symptoms depends on the individual's overall health. Increasing one's immunity is a very correct decision in this case.
