Key Points Question What is the global frequency of stroke in patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM)? Findings In this systematic review including 852 articles involving 2194 patients with stroke in TBM, the estimated frequency of stroke in TBM was 0.30 (95% CI, 0.26-0.33), and ranged from 0.08 in Saudi Arabia to 0.56 in France.
