Abstract
Improvement of the system of services for children, registration and constant monitoring of children from TB foci, and compulsory TB vaccination have led to a significant decrease in the incidence of TB and especially TB meningitis. Modern methods of treatment of tuberculous meningitis, while reducing the mortality rate and improving the prognosis of the disease, have at the same time changed its course. We observed 117 patients with tuberculous meningitis. Half of our patients were under the age of 3 years, among whom children of the first year of life accounted for 40%.
