Hello,
In some cases, TB infection may spread into the nervous system including the brain and spinal cord. Since there was paralysis and fits, an evaluation with brain MRI is necessary for a correct diagnosis. An evaluation by the Neurologist also should be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
