Abstract

Tuberculous brain abscess, an unusual complication of tuberculosis, has been rarely reported worldwide.It should be differentiated from tuberculomas of the brain and pyogenic brain abscess, but on the basis of clinical, laboratory, and roentgenographic information the differential diagnosis is difficult and only pathological plus bacteriological evidence can suffice it. We report a case of tuberculous brain abscess developed during antituberculous therapy in 20-year-old girl who had been suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis.
