Abstract
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the least common extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. Although the UK incidence of TBM is relatively low, it carries a high mortality and morbidity [1]. Neurological deterioration continues to be an important reason for ICU admission [2]. Little is known about the outcomes for TBM patients requiring ICU admission. Our aim is to evaluate patient demographics, tBm clinical data, and the necessity for organ support, and whether this can be associated with outcome.
