Description of primary multidrug-resistant tuberculous meningitis in an Italian child

Maria Vittoria Mauro et al. Microb Drug Resist. 2012 Feb.

Abstract

Tuberculous meningitis is the most severe form of tuberculosis and causes substantial morbidity and mortality in adults and children. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant (rifampin-isoniazid) strains requires the use of more toxic second-line drugs. We report a case of tuberculous meningitis in a 3-year-old Italian child.
