Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by gram-negative bacteria of the genus Brucella. Involvement of the gastrointestinal, hepatobilliary, and skeletal systems has been reported frequently in the literature. Involvement of the nervous system is relatively uncommon and has been reported in only 3%-25% of cases of generalized brucellosis. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a prototypical postinfectious autoimmune disease. We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in a 26-year-old woman as an uncommon presentation of neurobrucellosis.
布鲁氏菌病是一种由布鲁氏菌属革兰氏阴性细菌引起的传染病。文献中经常报道胃肠道、肝胆系统和骨骼系统受累情况。神经系统受累相对少见,仅在3%-25%的全身性布鲁氏菌病病例中有报道。吉兰-巴雷综合征是一种典型的感染后自身免疫性疾病。我们报告一例26岁女性吉兰-巴雷综合征病例,该病例为神经型布鲁氏菌病的罕见表现。
