Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the acid-fast bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affecting close to a quarter of the world’s population[1]. On the other hand, epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disease of the brain, affecting around 50 million people worldwide, and up to 10% of the population will have one epileptic seizure during their lifetime[2–4]. However, most people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries where TB is endemic[5].
