Can tuberculous meningitis be treated?

Patient's question:

I was carefully diagnosed with gallstones, but I don't feel anything in my daily life. I want to consult a doctor, can tuberculous meningitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This can certainly be treated, generally requiring anti-tuberculosis therapy. In fact, the reason for difficulties in administering medication to the head is usually because humans have a blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier itself can provide some protective function, so foreign substances may not be able to penetrate it. However, drugs may also be affected. But in the state of the disease, the effect of the disease will weaken.
