Clinical and imaging data were analyzed, with logistic regression identifying risk factors for ONP.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>ONP occurred in 6.8% (17/250) of TBM patients. Those with ONP had higher intracranial pressure (ICP) (257.69 ± 68.12 mmH2O vs 191.65 ± 91.58 mmH2O; <i>P</i> = 0.012), cerebrospinal fluid protein levels, and a higher prevalence of tuberculomas (29.4% vs 10.7%; <i>P</i> = 0.039). Logistic regression identified pre-treatment ICP, CD4 percentage, and tuberculomas as significant risk factors. Linezolid use was a protective factor for ONP recovery.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Six point eight percent (17/250) of patients with TBM developed ONP as a complication. ICP, CD4 counts, and tuberculomas are key predictors. Linezolid shows potential as a therapeutic agent for improving outcomes in TBM patients with neurological complications, warranting further study.</p>","PeriodicalId":19517,"journal":{"name":"Open Forum Infectious Diseases","volume":"11 12","pages":"ofae686"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11632523/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142813814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
