A Case of Neurobrucellosis Presenting with Isolated for Brucella spp. in the Broth Specific for Mycobacterium Species
In cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen of a 51-year-old patient suspected of meningitis, standard brucella agglutination test was detected to be 1/128 positive. Also, microscopical and biochemical investigations of CSF specimen revealed 280 leukocytes/mm3 (92% lymphocyte), a normal level of glucose (...

| description | In cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen of a 51-year-old patient suspected of meningitis, standard brucella agglutination test was detected to be 1/128 positive. Also, microscopical and biochemical investigations of CSF specimen revealed 280 leukocytes/mm3 (92% lymphocyte), a normal level of glucose (52 mg/dL), and a high level of protein (118 mg/dL). No microorganism was observed in routine bacteriological CSF cultures. Also, there was no microorganism with Gram and Auramine-rhodamine staining. After the decontamination and homogenization process, CSF specimen were inoculated into Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) 320 device which was specifically developed for isolation mycobacteria species. The isolate which proliferated in MGIT was identified as Brucella spp. The case was diagnosed and treated as neurobrucellosis. This is the first reported case of Brucella spp. isolation of CSF specimen in BACTEC MGIT system and considered as the pathogen. |
