[Tuberculous meningitis in intensive care].
A case of tuberculous meningitis in a 2-year-old boy is reported. The main critical care problems are irregular breathing, raised intracranial pressure and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. Cranial CT-Scan and ventricular shunting are shown to be of high importance for this disease.
