Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Brain TB is a condition that requires proper investigations and treatment. By doing CT and MRI scans the features of TB can be confirmed. It is important to examine your father in detail clinically and then treat his condition. He requires taking TB medicines for a long time and also he must be taking medications to control seizures and improve brain function. A lot depends on neurological rehabilitation. His arms and legs can be made to move slowly in the beginning and then slowly he can pick up his neurological functions. Recovery cannot be predicted completely and requires a lot of patience and family participation. The best institutes in India include AIIMS NewDelhi, NIMHANS Bangalore, SGPGI Lucknow, PGI Chandigarh, JIPMER Pondicherry to name a few.
