Summary
Neurobrucellosis can cause rare diffuse spinal arachnoiditis, affecting cranial nerves and spinal roots. Prompt antibiotic treatment led to significant clinical and radiological improvement in a 17-year-old patient.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Radiology
Background:
- Neurobrucellosis is a serious central nervous system infection caused by *Brucella* species.
- Spinal arachnoiditis, inflammation of the arachnoid mater surrounding the spinal cord, is an uncommon manifestation of neurobrucellosis.

Data Reporting and Recording
5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
9.9K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Reporter Genes
13.4K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.
