We report a case of tuberculous brain abscess. He developed neurological symptoms inspite of 6 months treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. His condition improved after surgical excision of abscess and short-course chemotherapy. Routine staining of pus is simple and a very useful technique to detect this entity.
