It presents with different kinds of neurology manifestations and diagnosis is mainly made on history, physical examination and laboratory tests. The clinical course of the disease is relatively insidious and the most common pattern of presentation is subacute or chronic. It has a long-term treatment period and its response to treatment is slow. Here, we report a case of an apparent healthy 25 yr-old Afghani woman from Fars Province (south of Iran) that presented at first with hyperacute onset of headache and abnormal behavior and diagnosed neurobrucellosis in Nov 2015. In endemic areas, neurobrucellosis should be considered for each patient referred with unexplained neurological problems.   https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/view/8641 https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/download/8641/5484
