Popis: In tuberculous meningitis there is a disturbance of control involving hyponatraemia and increased urinary elimination of antidiuretic hormone resulting in hypersecretion of vasopressin. This inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone should not be confused with the Schwartz-Bartter syndrome, which is reserved for paraneoplastic syndromes. The pathophysiology remains poorly understood but its recognition in cases of lymphocytic meningitis is improved as the correct diagnosis has precise therapeutic implications.
