Abstract
Meningitis can be caused by a variety of infectious agents,
such as viruses,fungi and bacteria,and non-infectious agents.
Those of infectious origin,caused by bacteria and viruses,are
the most important from a public health point of view, due to
the magnitude of their occurrence and potential to produce
outbreaks. 1 Among them, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is of
considerable clinical and epidemiological importance,
especially in developing countries.
