Twelve patients with neurobrucellosis and 17 patients with systemic brucellosis without neurological involvement underwent a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) study. All neurobrucellosis patients (100%) showed abnormalities in their BAEP recordings, suggestive of brainstem lesions at various levels. On the other hand, only 5 (29%) of the 17 patients with systemic brucellosis had mild unilateral BAEP abnormalities, while the remaining 12 had normal responses. Comparison of pooled data between the systemic brucellosis and neurobrucellosis groups showed highly significant differences in all BAEP parameters. The recording of BAEP is thus considered a sensitive supplementary method to reveal CNS lesions in patients with neurobrucellosis.
