Read your prob, if you have provisinol diagnosis is TB meningitis then PCR of CSF is diagnostic test but it is not 100% specific so along with it you should get mountx test, TB immunoglobins. it is curable. you should take 9 to 12 month course of medicine along with it you should take anticonvelsent drug. Report of PCR take 3 to 4 days to come.
