Linezolid for children with tuberculous meningitis: More evidence required.

Abstract:
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a devastating disease. With the currently available treatment regimens one in five children die and only a third of surviving children escape neurological sequelae.1 If there was any way of improving these outcomes significant mortality and morbidity would be averted. We were greatly interested, therefore, to read the study by Li et al regarding the use of linezolid in children with TBM in Beijing.
