Abstract

Neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of brucellosis, a common zoonosis with multisystem involvement. Its clinical presentation is quite heterogeneous and diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients from endemic areas. We present two cases of neurobrucellosis with widely varying clinical involvement from a tertiary center in Pakistan. Our case report emphasizes that neurobrucellosis should be considered in evaluation of patients with unexplained neurological symptoms.
