ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is an important public health problem. It is estimated that around 5-10% of patients with tuberculosis present with central nervous system involvement; meningitis and tuberculoma being two of the most frequent manifestations. The paradoxical reaction in patients undergoing antituberculosis treatment is infrequent, nevertheless it is an important consideration in patients, who after an appropriate initial response to specific treatment, present with worsening clinical and radiological signs or the appearance of new lesions.


La tuberculosis (TBC) es un problema de importancia en salud pública. Se estima que alrededor de 5 a 10% de los pacientes con TBC presentan compromiso de sistema nervioso central, siendo la meningitis y el tuberculoma las manifestaciones más frecuentes. La reacción paradojal en pacientes con tratamiento antituberculoso es infrecuente, sin embargo, es importante considerarla en pacientes que durante la terapia, luego de una respuesta inicial apropiada, presentan un empeoramiento clínico y/o radiológico o aparición de nuevas lesiones.
