We treated six patients with nervous system brucellosis causing polyradiculitis (2 patients), myelopathy (2), encephalitis (1), or meningitis (1). Diagnosis was based on Brucella species cultured from one patient, and a twofold or greater rise in antibody titer after therapy was started in the others. Treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with rifampin (5 patients) or tetracycline (1 patient) produced excellent clinical and laboratory response.
