Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2023
Purpose of review Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonosis worldwide, affecting 500 000 people, annually. Neurobrucellosis incidence is approximately 4%, and it is almost always heterogeneous. As there are no typical clinical features, its diagnosis is frequently misdiagnosing by other infections.

The Neurologist, 2021
Background: Brucella are small, nonmotile, intracellular, and aerobic gram-negative bacteria. Of the 10 species that currently form the genus Brucella, 5 were shown to be pathogenic in humans. Review Summary: The epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and imaging, and ...

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1995
Neurobrucellosis is an uncommon disease in children. The authors present two cases of brucellar meningo-encephalitis. Headache and vomiting were the main complaints and one child had also some behavioural disturbance as well as papilloedema and sixth cranial nerve palsy. The clinical diagnosis was suggested by epidemiological data in both cases.

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 2003
An 11-year-old boy presented with chronic meningitis followed by acute flaccid paralysis. The aetiology remained uncertain until the brucellar serology test became positive and there was a good response to specific antimicrobial therapy. Nerve conduction studies confirmed a proximal radiculopathy.

Neurology, 1989
We report 13 patients with neurobrucellosis categorized into five groups: acute meningoencephalitis; papilledema and increased intracranial pressure, meningovascular, CNS demyelinization, and peripheral neuropathy. We treated the patients successfully, without relapse, with two or more antimicrobials: rifampicin, co-trimoxazole, and doxycycline.

Kaleidoscopic presentation of neurobrucellosis
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2013Brucellosis remains an important public health problem especially in the underdeveloped countries as well as the Middle East. It may be a "master mimic" leading on to grave diagnostic dilemmas. Chronic neurobrucellosis is seldom associated with signs and symptoms of toxaemia due to multi organ dysfunction.

Neurobrucellosis Mimicking Migraine
European Neurology, 2008Central nervous system involvement in systemic brucellosis is not frequent. Neurobrucellosis may involve several areas of the central nervous system and may be the cause of several clinical pictures. We report a case of brucellar meningitis that was clinically indistinguishable from a migrainous syndrome.

Efficacy of antibiotics in neurobrucellosis
European Journal of Neurology, 1995Brucellosis is a systemic infection that rarely involves the nervous system. This paper describes 21 cases of neurobrucellosis affecting different parts of the peripheral and central nervous system. The various presentations closely simulated acute meningoencephalitis, myelitis, cerebral ischaemia, radiculopathy or multisystem degeneration.
