Abstract
A 4-year-old boy developed symptoms consistent with brucellosis and was treated with combined streptomycin and tetracydine. He had a high brucella agglutinin titer. However, he continued to have headache and papilledema. A brain CT revealed 6 large abscesses. Brucella melitensis was isolated from abscess material. The boy recovered completely after drainage therapy.Keywords
