Kothare, and Stefanos Mantagos. 2012. An uncommon case of pediatric neurobrucellosis associated with intracranial hypertension. Case Reports in Infectious Diseases 2012:492467.2090-66252090-6633http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:10482568We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital with intracranial hypertension, headache, diplopia, papilledema, and a normal brain MRI. Brucella melitensis in the cerebrospinal fluid was confirmed with PCR assay. We believe that neurobrucellosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when headaches persist following brucellosis. In addition, we suggest that when cerebrospinal fluid culture is negative, PCR may prove to be an optimal alternative tool for an immediate and accurate diagnosis.en-USJournal Article2013-03-2910.1155/2012/492467
