Neurobrucellosis presenting as clinically-definite amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Neurobrucellosis presenting as clinically-definite amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
We describe the first case of a male patient with neurobrucellosis
presenting with clinically-definite ALS. Considering the close temporal
association of ALS onset with the systemic Brucella infection and
consequent antigenic stimuli, we might suggest that human brucellosis
might have triggered a process of motor neuron degeneration in keeping
with neurobrucellosis, primarily due to parainfectious mechanism. Our
case helps to shed light on the factors that may trigger or only fasten
motor neuron disease manifestations.
