Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection in many parts of the world including the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries.

Neurobrucellosis may develop at any stage of disease and may have widely variable manifestations, including encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, radiculitis, myelitis, peripheral and cranial neuropathies, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and psychiatric manifestations.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Neurobrucellosis

Brucellosis associated with neuropsychiatric manifestations

MoCA

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cognitive function was assessed by using MoCA score. Cognitive impairment was considered present when MoCA scores were \<26. Maximum score is 30.

Non-neurobrucellosis

Brucellosis not associated with neuropsychiatric manifestations

MoCA

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cognitive function was assessed by using MoCA score. Cognitive impairment was considered present when MoCA scores were \<26. Maximum score is 30.
