    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) poses diagnostic challenges, particularly in diverse patient populations.
    • Prompt initiation of antituberculous therapy is critical for patient survival and improved outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Presents two cases of TBM: a 54-year-old woman immigrated from Turkey and a 10-year-old girl immigrated from Ethiopia.
    • Highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with TBM, emphasizing the need for early intervention.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment of TBM was achieved with a 9-month regimen.
    • The treatment regimen included a combination of rifampicin and isoniazid.
    • Therapy was initiated prior to establishing bacteriological confirmation of the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Suggests that a shorter, 9-month treatment course for TBM combining rifampicin and isoniazid can be effective.
    • Supports the clinical strategy of initiating antituberculous treatment empirically when TBM is suspected, even without immediate bacteriological confirmation.
    • Underscores the importance of considering TBM in at-risk populations, including recent immigrants.
