May be the bacteria are taking time to respond. Other possibilities are that bacteria are resistant or it is not TB. Meningitis has many causes. TB is one of them. Unless, TB bacteria are found in CSF, it is difficult to be certain. Once such bacteria is found, its sensitivity to medicines is tested in the laboratory and medicines can be tailored.
