NEUROBRUCELLOSIS: A REPORT OF TWO CASES.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Brucellosis is a ubiquitous zoonosis particularly affecting the Mediterranean countries and the Middle East. Its clinical presentation is quite heterogeneous and diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients from endemic areas. The radiological abnormalities of neurobrucellosis are also variable and may mimic other inflammatory, infectious or vascular diseases. We present two cases of neurobrucellosis with varying clinical involvement from south of Morocco. The results of lumbar puncture, magnetic resonance imaging and especially serology have led to the conclusion of neurobrucellosis. Neurobrucellosis is a serious disease whose prognosis depends on the early diagnosis and treatment.
