摘要
We describe a case of 78-year-old woman with a 1-week history of fever and left hemiparesis. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed a small infarct. After admission, she showed altered consciousness and another small infarct. She finally had diagnoses of miliary tuberculosis (miliary-TB) and tuberculous meningitis (TBM). She recovered after receiving anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT) with prednisolone. However, 5 weeks later, we found another infarct. This is a rare case of TBM with recurrent infarcts in atypical lesions in spite of ATT. We suggest the possibility that the new infarct after ATT was due to a paradoxical reaction.
