Neurological involvement of the central nervous system in brucellosis is uncommon. We describe a rare case of meningoencephalitis due to Brucella melitensis infection, associated with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and leading to diabetes insipidus and hypothyroidism. Neurobrucellosis, although rare, should be considered in cases of neurological disease of unknown etiology.
布鲁氏菌病累及中枢神经系统并不常见。我们描述了一例罕见的由马耳他布鲁氏菌感染引起的脑膜脑炎病例,该病例与抗利尿激素分泌不当综合征相关,并导致尿崩症和甲状腺功能减退。神经布鲁氏菌病虽然罕见,但对于病因不明的神经系统疾病,应考虑到该疾病的可能性。
