Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major public health problem in developing and developed countries. Extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) may mimic malignancies and many other diseases, and it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis. Tuberculous meningitis (TM) has high mortality and morbidity rates among EPTB forms. Mortality and morbidity rates are reduced by early diagnosis and treatment in TM.
