Hello,

Thanks for the query,

I am extremely sorry to note your problem and I do understand your concern and emotions.

Let me explain you that some patients with brain tuberculosis behave in this way despite the fact that their diagnosis and treatment are correct. How ever, I would like to emphasis that other causes which can cause granuloma in the brain need to be considered in these types of cases so that appropriate treatment can be given to the patient. I am sorry that I do not know your location. I strongly advise you to attend a teaching medical university hospital for a second opinion.

Best wishes
