Rapidly Progressive Dementia Due to Mycobacterium neoaurum Meningoencephalitis

Dementia developed in a patient with widespread neurologic manifestations; she died within 5 months. Pathologic findings showed granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis, foreign body-type giant cells, and proliferative endarteritis with vascular occlusions.

Tuberculous orchiepididymitis, meningoencephalitis and hydrocephalus.

Tuberculous meningoencephalitis (TBM) is a rare and serious, often fatal presentation of active tuberculosis and account for about 1% of cases. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of TBM is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. Here, we report a case of TBM in 60-year-old man. TBM was considered on the basis of clinical presentation, laboratory findings (hyponatraemia), cerebrospinal fl...

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis due to Naegleria fowleri

The genus Naegleria comprises of free living ameboflagellates found in soil and fresh water. More than 30 species have been isolated but only N. fowleri has been associated with human disease. N. fowleri causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), an acute, often fulminant infection of CNS. Here we report a rare and first case of PAM in an immunocompetent elderly patient from this part of...
