Received Date: Jul 03, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 31, 2025
Abstract
Neurotuberculosis (NTB) is a severe central nervous system infection posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review
highlights advances in neuroimaging, molecular diagnostics (e.g., GeneXpert MTB/RIF), and cerebrospinal fluid analysis that im
prove early detection. Treatment involves prolonged multi-drug regimens and adjunctive corticosteroids, with drug resistance being
a major concern. Neurological sequelae are common, emphasizing the need for rehabilitation. Tuberculous meningitis is the most
frequent form, requiring prompt intervention.
