Abstract
SUMMARY: Neurological complications of brucellosis have seldom been reported. Typical cases of meningoencephalitis, myelitis, and peripheral nerve involvement due to brucellosis, which have been collected over the past ten years, are described. Only four cases of extradural brucellar abcesses have been published previously. We now add four new observations. A CSF electrophoresis was done in the cases of meningoencephalitis and meningomyelitis and showed a marked increased of gamma globulin. This has never been reported previously.Keywords
