The article presents a case of a 29-year-old caucasian male who suffers from headache, confusion and fever. A magnetic resonance imaging brain scan demonstrated multiple enhancing lesions and a diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis after a brain biopsy was performed. The patient responded well to combination anti-TB treatment although died several months later from an unrelated cause.
