Résumé

We validated the uniform case definition for differentiating tuberculous meningitis (TBM) from both viral meningitis (VM) and bacterial meningitis (BM) in adults from South Korea, a country with an intermediate TB-burden. 'Probable' TBM differentiated 'definite' TBM with a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 98%. 'Possible TBM' criteria identified 'definite' TBM with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 60%. Despite the usefulness of the uniform case definition criteria, there was substantial overlaps among VM, BM, and 'possible' TBM, especially in severe cases of VM and indolent cases of BM.
