Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease endemic to much of the world. It most often presents with nonspecific symptoms and is a well known cause of undulant fever. Focal forms occur less frequently, with osteoarticular complications being the most common. In this study, we describe a rare case of brucellosis presenting as cholecystitis.

Keywords: brucella; brucellosis; cholecystitis; human; intra-abdominal.
