Cerebrospinal T-Cell Responses Aid in the Diagnosis of Tuberculous Meningitis in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus– and Tuberculosis-Endemic Population

Rationale: Current tools for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are suboptimal. We evaluated the clinical utility of a quantitative RD-1 IFN-γ T-cell enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay (T-SPOT.TB), using cerebrospinal fluid cells for the rapid immunodiagnosis of TBM.
