The clinical syndrome of tuberculous (TB) meningitis leading to ischemic strokes is rarely seen today in immunocompetent adults native to North America. This entity is also notoriously difficult to diagnose because the presenting symptoms are often nonspecific. The authors describe a case of a man with TB meningitis which progressed to recurrent ischemic cerebral infarcts.
