We are reporting on a rare case of central nervous system tuberculosis (TB) in the state of South Dakota. Our case features one of the most infrequent forms of TB in the brain: multiple tuberculomas. A 44-year-old immunocompetent man was admitted complaining of a headache and fever for a week. His physical exam was unremarkable. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain showed two ring-enhancing lesions. The largest lesion was excised surgically and the histopathology exam was consistent with tuberculoma. We will discuss in this report various aspects of this rare disease in term of epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
我们正在报告南达科他州一例罕见的中枢神经系统结核病（TB）病例。我们的病例具有脑部最罕见的结核形式之一：多发性结核瘤。一名44岁免疫功能正常的男性因头痛和发热一周入院。他的体格检查无异常。脑部磁共振成像扫描显示两个环形强化病灶。最大的病灶通过手术切除，组织病理学检查结果与结核瘤一致。我们将在本报告中从流行病学、诊断和治疗等方面讨论这种罕见疾病的各个方面。
