摘要：

Objectives - The diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis is easily missed because the variety of symptoms give rise to problems with the differential diagnosis. Material - Five cases of difficult to diagnose tuberculous meningitis are presented. Results - Several reasons for the diagnostic delay are highlighted. The fact that tuberculous meningitis is rather rare in developed countries contributes to this problem. Recommendations for a quick diagnosis are given. Conclusion - The diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in developed countries is often made after a substantial delay. In case of suspicion on the diagnosis additional examination should be performed and treatment should be started immediately.
