MRI findings in children with tuberculous meningitis: a comparison of HIV-infected and non-infected patients

摘要

Background  Radiological studies on HIV infection in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in children are limited to small, retrospective studies using CT features. They report that HIV-infected children are less likely to display meningovascular enhancement, tuberculoma formation and obstructive hydrocephalus. No similar MRI-based studies were found in the literature.
