Abstract
✓ The authors describe a case of tuberculous cerebral abscess of the frontal lobe that developed 1 year after an episode of acute miliary tuberculosis. The development of such a lesion indicates a persistence of infection and an immunological breakdown which may partly have been due to protein malnutrition.Keywords
