Comparison of Standard and Intensified Regimens for HIV-Negative Adults With Tuberculous Meningitis in West China: A Retrospective Observational Study

Conclusion: The overall outcome in patients with TBM at 1 and 2 years follow up, did not show any statistically significant difference between the 4-standard chemotherapy and other intensified regimens. However, in terms of full recovery rate, the 4 standard therapy plus Moxifloxacin regimen was significantly better than other treatment regimens. Hydrocephalus was the only independent risk factor for poor prognosis.
