Abstract

Brucellosis, a major health problem in developing countries, is a zoonotic disease with multisystem infection with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. We present a 48-year-old man diagnosed to have brucellosis in our hospital who was admitted through the emergency department with the chief complaint of fever for 25 days, generalized myalgia for 3 weeks, and decreased appetite associated with weight loss of 4-5 kg in a month. Fever was mild to moderate with the intermittent spikes and that subsided with paracetamol. There was no history of chronic cough or cold, joint pains, rashes, nausea or vomiting, urinary symptoms or bleeding manifestations. The blood culture grew out Brucella melitensis. He responded well to combination therapy consisting of doxycycline and beta lactam antibiotics. He recovered fully without relapse during the one-month follow-up.
