Paradoxical reaction to the treatment of tuberculosis uncovering previously silent meningeal disease

Reação paradoxal ao tratamento da tuberculose revelando doença meníngea previamente silenciosa

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

We report a severe manifestation of the so called paradoxical reaction to the treatment of tuberculosis that unmasked previously silent meningeal disease in a 34-year-old HIV-infected male patient.
