  Herpetic meningoencephalitis and tuberculous meningitis are two severe infectious diseases affecting the central nervous system. In both cases, prognosis depends on early treatment. A four years old girl is presented as a complex clinical case. Symptoms and complementary tools were not enough to differentiate both infections. Only herpes simplex virus type 1 was confirmed in cerebrospinal fluid. However, to complete TB treatment was the final therapy decision. The case was nationally discussed with the Spanish Pediatric TB Research Network (pTBred). No unanimous agreement on whether or not to remove the TB medication was reached.
