ISSN/ISBN: 0012-0472 PMID: 3105995 Document Number: 296675
A 45-year-old woman developed meningoencephalitis owing to an infection with Brucella abortus. The probable source of infection was contaminated ewe's milk cheese. Treatment with cefotaxim and doxycycline led to regression of the clinical symptoms and serological findings.
