    Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious allergic disease caused by Brucella that iswidely distributed throughout the world. Brucella can invade various systems ofthe human body, such as the joints, the reproductive system, the spine, and thenervous system. Among patients with brucellosis, neurobrucellosis (NB) mainlymanifests as nervous system symptoms in only 1.7–10% of patients and cancause a misdiagnosis. We reported a case of NB that presented as myelitis asthe main clinical presentation and reviewed the relevant literature. It is suggestedthat clinicians should consider NB, especially atypical neurological symptoms,when there is a suspicious contact history.
