Abstract

I experienced an atypical tuberculous meningitis case which complicated. blindness and seVere delirium, but treated with Isonicotinic acid .600 mg . and hydrostreptomycin 1 gm daily a year at first stage 0.5 gm intrathecal and 3.5 gm intramuscularly daily but suddenly happened bleeding in the spinal fluid after that 1 gave INAH by mouth and hydrostreptomycin only intramuscularly 3 gm daily. After 3 months treatment in the hospital, the patient got good result, so that he continued the same treatment about 7 months at his home. At present moment he can see all the sight andwork as before he got tuberculous meningitis. ln my experiences it is first time treated severe tuberculous meningitis with above wonderful drugs. He is still continuing and take lNAH 300 mg daily by mouth even he is more healthy than before he had tuberculous meningitis.
