Abstract

Brucellosis, which is endemic in Saudi Arabia, can present as a disease with multisystem involvement. Occasionally the organisms invade the central nervous system producing varied neurological manifestations. Often the clinical diagnosis of neurobrucellosis is not straight forward and is obscure. Certain criteria have to be fulfilled for the definitive diagnosis of neurobrucellosis. We report 2 cases of neurobrucellosis which were encountered for the first time during the past 10 years at this hospital.

摘要

布鲁氏菌病在沙特阿拉伯呈地方性流行，可表现为累及多系统的疾病。偶尔，病原体侵入中枢神经系统，产生各种神经学表现。神经型布鲁氏菌病的临床诊断往往并非直截了当，而是模糊不清的。确诊神经型布鲁氏菌病必须满足某些标准。我们报告了2例神经型布鲁氏菌病病例，这是本院在过去10年中首次遇到的。
