Strongyloides stercoralis is common among populations with high tuberculosis prevalence. Our aim was to determine whether S. stercoralis coinfection influenced clinical presentation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammation, and outcome from tuberculous meningitis (TBM).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From June 2017 to December 2019, 668 Vietnamese adults with TBM, enrolled in the ACT HIV or LAST ACT trials (NCT03092817 and NCT03100786), underwent pretreatment S. stercoralis testing by serology, stool microscopy, and\/or stool polymerase chain reaction.

Neurological complications by 3 months were significantly reduced in participants with active S. stercoralis infection compared with uninfected participants (3.8% [1 of 26] vs 30.0% [33 of 110],
