Paradoxical reactions in tuberculosis have been reported in patients with tuberculous meningitis and appear as intracranial tuberculomas within 14-270 days of starting antituberculous therapy (ATT). Paradoxical reactions are due to the immune response of the host to ATT. They are commonly seen in the intensive phase of chemotherapy. However, paradoxical reactions occurring after completion of ATT are rare. We report 2 patients with tuberculous meningitis who had already completed ATT and then developed tuberculomas.
据报道,结核性脑膜炎患者中会出现结核病的矛盾反应,表现为在开始抗结核治疗(ATT)后的14 - 270天内出现颅内结核瘤。矛盾反应是由于宿主对ATT的免疫反应所致。它们常见于化疗的强化期。然而,在ATT完成后出现的矛盾反应很少见。我们报告2例已完成ATT但随后发生结核瘤的结核性脑膜炎患者。
