228 top medical experts on Central Nervous System Tuberculosis across 33 countries and 11 U.S. states, including 61 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Central Nervous System Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis of the brain, spinal cord, or meninges (tuberculosis, meningeal), most often caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and rarely by mycobacterium bovis. The infection may be limited to the nervous system or coexist in other organs (e.g., tuberculosis, pulmonary). The organism tends to seed the meninges causing a diffuse meningitis and leads to the formation of tuberculoma, which may occur within the brain, spinal cord, or perimeningeal spaces. Tuberculous involvement of the vertebral column (tuberculosis, spinal) may result in nerve root or spinal cord compression. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp717-20)
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Tuberculosis (4,959), Central Nervous System Bacterial Infections (758) and Narrower Categories: Intracranial Tuberculoma (709), Meningeal Tuberculosis (895).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 1 including 1 Completed
