AB  - Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection caused by bacterial genus Brucella, a 
      Gram-negative bacterium, and continued to be a health problem in endemic areas. 
      Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune disease 
      which can lead to status epilepticus. A 19-year-old male patient was referred to 
      our hospital with status epilepticus. The diagnosis of brucellosis was confirmed 
      about 2 weeks before. The brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal. Lumbar 
      puncture was performed, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) was in normal limits. The 
      patient was treated with antiepileptic, anti-brucellosis agents. Two weeks after 
      discharge, the patient readmitted to hospital with status epilepticus again. 
      Extensive workup was negative except that NMDAR antibodies were detected in serum 
      and CSF. The diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis was established. Brucellosis as 
      a triggering factor for NMDAR encephalitis should be considered.
