Abstract

Distinguishing granulomatous diseases remains diagnostically challenging. Clinical phenotypes and neuroimaging findings resemble many infectious and noninfectious disorders. We describe a Hispanic/Latino man diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis who deteriorated neurologically after treatments. Additional workup revealed a pathology more consistent with neurosarcoidosis. Care access delays and social circumstances likely complicated his diagnosis.
