Abstract
Three cases of tuberculous meningitis with unusual presentation occurring in previously healthy females are presented. It is suggested that this diagnosis be considered in every patient with explained neurologic manifestations and meningitis, whether polymorphonuclear cells predominate in the cerebrospinal fluid or the glucose and protein content are normal. Therapy with at least isoniazid should be started while the diagnostic investigation is pursued.
