RESUMO

We report a patient with microbiologically documented tuberculous meningitis showing that the therapeutic paradox, a therapy-induced switch to a neutrophil-predominant situation in the differential cell counts of cerebrospinal fluid specimens, had a correlation with an immunologic paradox, an increased Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific gamma interferon-producing T-cell response.
