Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a challenging disease to treat, as infects the meninges, which are the outer membranes of the brain and the spinal cord. The majority of patients diagnosed with TBM acquire various other central nervous system complications, and as a result, treating the disease becomes a challenging task. A paradoxical reaction to the treatment may occur in the course of managing TBM. This case study describes a 20-year-old Southeast Asian female who was diagnosed and treated for TBM and subsequently developed a resurgence of the disease due to a paradoxical reaction.
结核性脑膜炎（TBM）是一种难以治疗的疾病，因为它会感染脑膜，即大脑和脊髓的外层膜。大多数被诊断为TBM的患者会出现各种其他中枢神经系统并发症，因此，治疗这种疾病成为一项具有挑战性的任务。在TBM的治疗过程中可能会出现对治疗的矛盾反应。本病例研究描述了一名20岁的东南亚女性，她被诊断患有TBM并接受了治疗，随后由于矛盾反应导致疾病复发。
