What are the Symptoms of Tuberculous Meningitis?

The clinical presentation of TBM in children can be insidious and non-specific initially, making early diagnosis challenging. Symptoms may include:
- Persistent fever
- Lethargy and irritability
- Poor feeding
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Seizures
As the disease progresses, symptoms can worsen, leading to altered sensorium, cranial nerve palsies, and other neurological deficits.
