Cerebral = in the cerebrum.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection most often localized in the lungs (pulmonary tuberculosis) but can spread to other parts of the body (extrapulmonary tuberculosis).

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is currently treated with the same drugs and for the same period of time as pulmonary tuberculosis but cerebral tuberculosis , bone tuberculosis in children can be treated in less than 12 months. Corticosteroid drugs may also be recommended in severe cases in order to reduce inflammation.
