    Tuberculous meningitis is a disease
    with a very high mortality and disability rate.
    Early and targeted treatment can significantly improve prognosis
    .
    However, the principles of treatment for tuberculous meningitis are mostly derived from observational studies and clinical practice rather than well-designed controlled trials, so there is a lack of sufficient evidence

    .
