| description | Brucellosis is a zoonosis, and transmitted by direct or indirect exposure. Direct invasion of the central nervous system occurs in fewer than 5% of cases. Neurobrucellosis includes meningitis, encephalitis, myelitisradiculoneuronitis, brain abscess, intra-medullary spinal cord abscess, epidural abscess, granuloma, and demyelinating and meningovascular syndromes.
