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.
