Case report: Brucella induced Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Neurobrucellosis is relatively uncommon. In a prospective study of 530 patients with brucellosis, neurologic involvement was reported in only 1.7% of the patients. Unlike Campylobacter jejuni, the commonest infection implicated in Guillain-Barré syndrome, there are very few reports in the literature of Guillain-Barré syndrome in association with brucellosis. Out of 1,028 cases of brucellosis, polyneuritis was reported in only 2 out of 58 patients with neurological involvement. © The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
