Tuberculous meningitis generally is considered to be relentlessly progressive, unless specific therapy is administered. The "aseptic meningitis" of a 56-year-old diabetic patient proved to be tuberculous and regressed spontaneously. Review of the literature shows that spontaneous healing of tuberculous meningitis has been described and demonstrated previously. Awareness of this entity and its recognition are important because this disease may be a focus for subsequent tuberculosis of other organ systems.
结核性脑膜炎通常被认为是一种进展迅速、无法缓解的疾病，除非进行特殊治疗。一名56岁糖尿病患者的“无菌性脑膜炎”被证实为结核性，并自行消退。文献回顾显示，此前已有关于结核性脑膜炎自发愈合的描述和报道。认识到这种疾病及其表现非常重要，因为它可能是后续其他器官系统发生结核病的病灶。
