Her initial symptoms were speech impairment and left limb weakness, and the preliminary diagnosis was cerebral infarction. After admission, she began to complain of headache and developed a fever. Lumbar puncture was then performed, which revealed tuberculous meningitis. During treatment, pulmonary lesions and intestinal obstruction occurred. Acid-fast staining of alveolar lavage fluid and stool were positive. The final diagnosis was systemic disseminated tuberculosis.
