Objective:
To identify clinical features of tuberculosis of the meninges and central nervous system (TM) with detailed characterization of changes in the composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the initial period of the disease.
Material And Methods:
We analyzed the results of the examination of 42 patients, aged from 17 to 49 years, who were hospitalized in 2005-2014.
Results And Conclusion:
Most of the patients were admitted in the hospital in early acute disease onset. Along with the description of inflectional and cerebral symptoms, meningeal signs, disorders of consciousness and focal symptoms, we presented cell count values, protein and glucose concentrations at initial examination of CSF as well as the results of additional examination and specific therapy issues. The importance of combining treatment standards and individualization of therapy of TM patients is emphasized.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
