Ce protocole couvre la prise en charge de la méningite tuberculeuse chez les adultes hospitalisés âgés de 18 ans ou plus sans co-infection VIH — une population pour laquelle des preuves de haute certitude appuient une recommandation thérapeutique forte.
Adultes (18 ans ou plus) hospitalisés pour méningite tuberculeuse, avec absence confirmée de co-infection VIH. Des preuves de haute certitude appuient une recommandation forte pour cette population, distincte de l'approche au cas par cas requise en présence du VIH.

Population: adults in hospital requiring treatment for tuberculous meningitis.
Is there HIV co-infection? — High certainty of evidence, strong recommendation for use in individuals without HIV; high certainty of evidence, weak recommendation for use in people living with HIV so the decision to use should be made on a case-by-case basis.
If corticosteroids do not control symptoms, then small case-series and case reports have described the use of anti-TNF biologicals (eg, infliximab), thalidomide, or anakinra.
A retrospective cohort study in India reported adjunctive infliximab (10 mg/kg for one to three doses, 4 weeks apart) was safe and effective in treating severe inflammatory complications of tuberculous meningitis.
Observational studies in South African children have suggested that adjunctive thalidomide (2–5 mg/kg per day) was safe and effective in treating tuberculous mass lesions and optochiasmatic arachnoiditis.
