Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. It is not the tubercular meningitis but it is viral meningitis. ESR in your report is close to normal while in case of tuberculosis it is much much higher. But you can confirm the report by doing CSF microscopic examination by the AFB straining. Viral infection requires a prolong treatment. So as per your description the patient is unconscious which requires a long duration of treatment. Please be adhere to the treatment as provided by the ICU doctors. By completed treatment patient can be taken to home. Please do not withdraw the treatment otherwise disease will recur. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
