RESUMO

Tuberculous meningitis is a common form of central nervous system infections in many developing countries where tuberculosis is highly endemic. It constitutes the most grave form of mycobacterium tuberclosis infection. Despite anti-tuberculosus treatment, death or severe neurological disability occur in more than 50% of patients. To improve the prognosis of this disease, steroids were used as an adjuvant treatment for several decades. Its effect have remained controversial until recently there are more evidence of its effectiveness in terms of mortality and neurological sequelae among survivors. This paper is a synthesis of various studies on the effects of steroids in tuberculous meningitis
