Abstract:
Bacteriologic investigation of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen for mycobacteria on Lowenstein-Jensen egg medium revealed the presence of Brucella organisms. This coincided with a significant antibody titer against Brucella spp. This is the first documented report of the ability of B. melitensis organisms to grow on Loewenstein-Jensen egg medium.
