New meta-analysis finds no clear mortality benefit from intensified treatment regimens (ie. high-dose rifampicin, fluoroquinolones) for #tuberculous #meningitis in adults. More consistent, high-quality trials needed. 📚 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41064692/

Thickened peritoneum w/ yellowish-white lesions +/-adhesions
