TBM disease, or Tuberculous Meningitis, is a serious infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Understanding Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM)
Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM) is the most common form of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis (TB). It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). This condition can lead to significant neurological problems and even death if not treated promptly. TBM is associated with a high frequency of neurologic sequelae and mortality if not treated promptly [1–5].
