Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that can affect multiple organ systems.
  • Neurological involvement in Brucellosis, while reported, is uncommon, particularly in young adults.

Observation:

  • A young adult male experienced an 11-month history of debilitating symptoms including fever, headache, and vomiting.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed lymphocytic pleocytosis with elevated protein levels, suggesting central nervous system inflammation.
  • Serological testing showed a high titer for Brucella in serum (1:320), with a weaker positive result in CSF.

Findings:

  • The patient demonstrated a significant clinical and CSF response to a combination antibiotic regimen including tetracycline, rifampicin, and streptomycin.

  • The neurological presentation and subsequent recovery highlight the importance of considering Brucellosis in the differential diagnosis of unexplained CNS inflammation.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of neurobrucellosis, especially with atypical presentations.
    • Effective treatment can lead to complete resolution of neurological symptoms and CSF abnormalities.
    • Highlights the need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding the diverse manifestations of Brucellosis.
