Tubercular Meningitis-induced infarcts were most commonly located in basal ganglia (73.3%) followed by thalamus (33.3%), brainstem (33.3%), frontal lobe (33.3%), internal capsule (26.7%), cerebellar hemisphere (26.7%), corpus callosum (20%), parietal lobe (6.7%) and
external capsule (6.7%).
Serial coronal sections of the brain were obtained, and 5 [micro]m-thick sections including the motor cortex (primary and secondary motor cortex) and the
external capsule were prepared for H-E stain and immunohistochemical study with anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody (ab4674, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, 1 : 500 dilution, 30min) and secondary antibody (ab6877, Abcam, 1 : 200 dilution, 20 min).
