    Abstract Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a commonly encountered central nervous system infection. Characteristic clinical, imaging and cerebrospinal fluid parameters help clinicians to make a prompt presumptive diagnosis that enables them to start empirical anti-tuberculosis treatment. There are several close mimic to TBM, such as partially treated pyogenic meningitis, fungal meningitis, sarcoidosis, meningeal metastases and meningeal lymphomatosis. Microbiological confirmation instils a sense of confidence amongst treating physicians. With conventional phenotypic methods (cerebrospinal fluid microscopy and culture), in more than 50 per cent patients, microbiological confirmation is not achieved. Moreover, these methods take a long time before providing conclusive results. Negative result does not rule out Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the brain. Genotypic methods, such as IS 6110 polymerase chain reaction and automated Xpert M. tuberculosis/rifampicin (MTB/RIF) assay system improved the TBM diagnostics, as results are rapidly available. Xpert MTB/RIF assay, in addition, detects rifampicin resistance. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra is advanced technology which has higher (60-70%) sensitivity and is being considered a game-changer in the diagnostics of TBM. A large number of TBM cases remain unconfirmed. The situation of TBM diagnostics will remain grim, if low-cost technologies are not widely available. Till then, physicians continue to rely on their clinical acumen to start empirical anti-tuberculosis treatment.

    Abstract Measles inclusion-body encephalitis (MIBE) is rare, with insights largely from case studies. We systematically analyzed subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) cases in immunocompromised patients, identifying distinctive clinical and neuroimaging features. These findings could facilitate MIBE diagnosis without the need for brain biopsies. Our systematic review on MIBE and HIV-related SSPE adhered to PRISMA guidelines and was registered with PROSPERO. We searched multiple databases and followed a detailed inclusion process with independent reviews and quality assessment. Data on patient demographics, clinical features, and outcomes were compiled. A review of 39 studies on 49 MIBE patients and 8 reports on HIV-positive SSPE patients was conducted. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, HIV, organ transplants, and malignancies were common precursors to MIBE. Perinatal HIV was prevalent among SSPE cases. Seizures were the primary symptom in MIBE, often drug-resistant and progressing to status epilepticus or epilepsia partialis continua, whereas periodic myoclonus was universal in SSPE. Neuroimaging showed distinct patterns for each group, and histopathology confirmed measles virus presence in 39% of MIBE cases. MIBE patients typically progressed to coma and death. In conclusion, MIBE and SSPE in HIV-infected patients present with distinct clinical pictures but identical brain pathological abnormalities.

    Abstract Disseminated cysticercosis is defined by multiple brain lesions and involvement of other body sites. Cysticidal treatment in disseminated cysticercosis is considered life-threatening. We conducted a systematic review of all published cases and case series to assess the safety and efficacy of cysticidal treatment. We conducted a systematic review in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42022331895) to assess the safety and efficacy of cysticidal treatment. Using the search term "disseminated neurocysticercosis OR disseminated cysticercosis," databases like PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched. Outcomes included death and secondary measures like clinical improvement and lesion reduction. We calculated the predictors of primary outcome (death) using the binary logistic regression analysis. We reviewed 222 published cases from 101 publications. Approximately 87% cases were reported from India. Of 222 cases, 134 (60%) received cysticidal treatment. Follow-up information was available from 180 patients, 11 of them died, and 169 showed clinical improvement. The death rate was 4% (5 out of 114) in patients treated with cysticidal drugs plus corticosteroids, in comparison with 13% (5 out of 38) in patients who were treated with corticosteroids alone. All patients using only praziquantel faced fatality. Death predictors identified were altered sensorium and lack of treatment with albendazole. We noted that the risk of death after cysticidal treatment is not as we expected, and a multicentric randomized controlled trial is needed to resolve this issue.
