Abstract
Recurrent tuberculous meningitis can have a non-specific clinical presentation when it presents as a co-infection with HIV and can resemble other causes of subacute and chronic meningitis, leading to unwanted outcomes; for this reason, timely diagnoses are required. The most widely used microbiological diagnostic methods can be of low sensitivity or have delayed results. The aim of this article is to present a clinical case of recurrent tuberculous meningitis with a clinical presentation of stroke due to a basal cistern ischaemic lesion in a patient co-infected with HIV, who had a microbiological confirmation and a drug sensitivity study with phenotypic and molecular tests.
