Neurobrucellosis Complicated by Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Case Report
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease. It is also one of the neglected infectious diseases and is less well-known compared to other diseases. It is acquired from infected animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, pigs, or other animals) through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or contact wit...

description | Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease. It is also one of the neglected infectious diseases and is less well-known compared to other diseases. It is acquired from infected animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, pigs, or other animals) through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or contact with tissues or fluids. Sensory neural hearing loss (SNHL) in neurobrucellosis had been described in the literature, mostly as an incidental finding that otolaryngologists should consider in any patient with fever and a history of travel to the Middle East, Central or South America, or other brucellosis-endemic countries. We present a neurobrucellosis case with profound bilateral SNHL that was treated with combination antibiotic therapy for long periods of time and highlight the clinical course of the patient. |
