Brucellosis in humans is an infectious disease which may occur following contact with infected domestic animals or the ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products. It has rarely been described in pregnancy. The diagnosis, neuropsychiatric manifestations, and management of brucellosis in a 3rd-trimester pregnant woman are discussed.
