Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs, while brucellosis is a zoonotic infection prevalent in endemic areas. Neurobrucellosis, a severe complication of brucellosis, can mimic or coexist with autoimmune conditions like SLE, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges and management strategies for such overlapping diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic infection that primarily presents as fever but can impact various organs, with endocarditis being the leading cause of death.
- Proper culture techniques are essential for diagnosing Brucella infections due to the organism's fastidious nature, especially in areas with high prevalence.
- A case series of three patients with Brucella endocarditis demonstrated successful management through medical therapy and emphasized the need for accurate diagnostics and timely surgical intervention when necessary.

Introduction: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections in the world. Cardiac complications of the disease are usually in the form of endocarditis, and, to a lesser extent, in the form of myopericarditis.
Case: We report the case of a 34-year-old female admitted with signs of fever, nausea, and headache.

Brucellosis with neurological symptoms at onset is rare in children and is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked due to nonspecific clinical presentations, particularly in non-endemic areas. We report a case of neurobrucellosis in a child from a non-pastoral area, diagnosed via metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The patient presented with headache and altered consciousness, accompanied by fever, projectile vomiting, seizures, and urinary incontinence.

Cardiovascular complications of Brucellosis are not common and affecting less than 2% of cases. In clinical practice, endocarditis is the most frequent cardiovascular complication and is responsible for most of the brucellosis-related mortality cases and usually diagnosed lately in the course of the disease with mostly aorta valve involvement. In this case report, we present the case of a 27-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with fever, sudden onset right side hemiparesis, and horizontal gaze palsy.
