description Disseminated tuberculosis (TB) resulting from lymphohematogenous dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during primary infection or reactivation of latent disease is rare among young immunocompetent patients. Central nervous system TB (CNS TB) is one of the most challenging clinical diagnoses with high fatality.
