Popis: Five cases of tuberculous meningoencephalitis with severe course treated in the period 1991-1994 at the Department of Parasitic Diseases and Neuroinfections, Medical Academy in Białystok are reported. Diagnostic difficulties encountered in these cases, the clinical courses and the results of the treatment are discussed. The always lethal outcome of untreated tuberculous meningoencephalitis requires antituberculosis treatment to be tried in all cases of meningitis with severe and protracted course, with equivocal results of cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and lacking effect of non-specific therapy.
