Abstract
Although there have always been sporidlc reports of spontaneous cures in tuberculous menlngitis, up to a few years ago this diagnosis almost invariably meant death within a few weeks or months. The therapeutic use of Streptomycin in this disease has created new hope for these patients and has stimulated tremendous interest in all aspects of the disease.
