Abstract
There were 35 well documented cases of tuberculous meningitis at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in the 5-year period 1959 to 1963. The over-all mortality rate was 32%. Negroes fared better than did whites, and patients between the ages of 6 and 50 had lower mortality rates than those older or younger. Of the individual factors measured, the 1st to return to normal after the institution of therapy was the cerebrospinal fluid sugar. This was followed by the temperature, cerebrospinal fluid cell count, and cerebrospinal fluid protein, in that order.
