Neurobrucellosis: Clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and outcome

Abstract

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. © 1989 American Academy of Neurology.
