title: [Tuberculous meningitis in review].
abstract: Tuberculosis meningitis is one of the most dangerous forms of tuberculosis (TB). Due to large waves of immigration, the incidence of TB in Israel has increased in recent years, as has that of TB meningitis. Due to its high mortality, rapid diagnosis of TB meningitis is of paramount importance. We present a patient admitted with a acute febrile disease which was subsequently diagnosed as TB meningitis.
