Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Could you please tell me about the communicability and after-effects of tuberculous meningitis?Doctor's answer:
Tuberculous meningitis is generally divided into tuberculosis. If it is active tuberculosis, it is also contagious. However, simple tuberculous meningitis will generally not be infected as long as it does not come into contact with the patient's cerebrospinal fluid. Instructions: The main treatment is antituberculous therapy. If necessary, intracranial pressure can be reduced, ventricular anesthesia, and intrathecal anesthesia can be performed. The effect is relatively good, and sequelae depend on the severity of the meningitis. Generally, there may be hydrocephalus, epilepsy, and anesthesia. If it is resolved in time, sequelae will not reappear completely.
