abstrak
Latar belakang. Meningitis tuberkulosis (MTB) adalah manifestasi infeksi Mycobacterium tuberculosis yang menyebar secara hematogen dan mencapai susunan saraf pusat khususnya di lapisan meninges otak. Kortikosteroid sebagai terapi adjuvan MTB bekerja dalam mengurangi inflamasi dengan menekan beberapa gen inflamasi aktif. sebagai terapi adjuvan MTB.
Metode. Pencarian literatur sistematis dilakukan melalui database Google Scholar, PubMed, dan Cochrane. Studi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi meliputi uji klinis acak atau meta-analisis, diterbitkan dalam bahasa Inggris, dan dilakukan dalam 10 tahun terakhir.
Hasil. Tinjauan ini mencakup 3 meta-analisis yang ketiganya menunjukkan adanya penurunan mortalitas pada penggunaan kortikosteroid sebagai terapi adjuvan, begitu pula dengan respon pengobatan yang lebih baik, insiden efek samping lebih rendah, dan penurunan defisit neurologis. Selain itu, kortikosteroid juga memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap parameter biokimia cairan serebrospinal.
Kesimpulan. Laporan kasus berbasis bukti ini menunjukkan efektivitas kortikosteroid sebagai terapi adjuvan MTB. Namun, peran kortikosteroid terhadap disabilitas dan defisit neurologis memerlukan evaluasi lebih lanjut, terutama dalam konteks terapi jangka panjang serta jenis, dosis, dan rute kortikosteroid yang memberikan efek terapi terbaik.
abstract
Background. Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection that spreads hematogenously and reaches the central nervous system, particularly the meningeal layers of the brain. Corticosteroids serve as an adjunctive therapy for TBM by reducing inflammation through the suppression of several active inflammatory genes.
Objective. To review and analyze the evidence regarding the role of corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy in TBM.
Methods. A systematic literature search was conducted using the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. The inclusion criteria encompassed randomized controlled trials or meta- analyses, published in English within the last ten years.
Results. This review includes three meta-analyses, all of which indicate a reduction in mortality with the use of corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy, along with improved treatment response, lower incidence of adverse effects, and a decrease in neurological deficits. Additionally, corticosteroids have shown a significant impact on cerebrospinal fluid biochemical parameters.
Conclusion. This evidence-based case report highlights the effectiveness of corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy in TBM. However, their role in disability and neurological deficits requires further evaluation, particularly concerning long-term therapy, as well as the type, dosage, and route of corticosteroid administration that provide the most optimal therapeutic effects.
