We describe a 50-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with tuberculosis, with acute alteration in mental status. EEG showed nonconvulsive status epilepticus features. Brain MRI revealed multiple ring-enhancing lesions. She responded well to treatment for both status epilepticus and tuberculosis. Her level of consciousness improved and she became fully aware.
