This study investigated the changes in brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in acute phase of brucellosis. Twenty-two patients with brucellosis without neurologic involvement and seven patients with neurobrucellosis were included. BAEPs were evaluated before treatment. No patient had a symptom of hearing loss. Patients who had neurologic involvement did not show any abnormalities in their BAEPs recording. This study suggests that patients with brucellosis who are in the acute phase of the disease with or without neurological involvement may have normal BAEPs. BAEPs do not seem to be a sensitive method for central nervous system involvement of brucella patients in the acute phase of the disease.
本研究调查了布鲁氏菌病急性期脑干听觉诱发电位（BAEP）的变化。纳入了22例无神经系统受累的布鲁氏菌病患者和7例神经型布鲁氏菌病患者。在治疗前评估BAEP。所有患者均无听力损失症状。有神经系统受累的患者BAEP记录未显示任何异常。本研究表明，处于疾病急性期的布鲁氏菌病患者，无论有无神经系统受累，其BAEP可能正常。对于处于疾病急性期的布鲁氏菌病患者，BAEP似乎不是检测其中枢神经系统受累的敏感方法。
