Brucellar chorea is a rare and unusual presentation of brucellosis. We would hereby like to report a case of Brucellar chorea. The purpose of reporting this case is to create awareness about the neuropsychiatric manifestations of brucellosis. Neurobrucellosis should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in patients having long-standing fever with neurological manifestations, especially in endemic zones like India.
