Tuberculous Meningitidis Among Alaskan Natives
Description:
Treatment must begin promptly when the diagnosis of TB Meningitidis is made. Therapy diagnosis is made on the basis of history, physical findings, and spinal fluid examination. Therapy generally will consist of a combination of long term INH, PAS, and Streptomycin. The use of steroids in TB Meningitidis is a subject of current debate and intrathecal therapy at the present time is rarely used. Bibliography.
