[|Human|] my daughter is diagnosed with tb meningitis based on her clinical test results, however the results of her TB PCR test is negative. She is now undergoing medication for TB Meningitis, my question is will she need to continue with the medication for 12 months as prescribed by her doctor due to the results of her clinical tests, despite the fact that her TB PCR test showed negative?
[|AI|]  Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggest you that PCR is gold standard test for TB, its negativity suggest that your daughter is negative for the TB. Though some false negative results are there for PCR, but you should not ignore the test. I suspect the meningitis in your daughter has some different etiological diagnosis. Kindly say for different etiological diagnosis. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
