Abstract

Brucellosis is an important, but neglected cause of pyrexia of unknown origin. It is a severely debilitating condition and also causes great economic losses. Diagnosis of brucellosis is difficult. Hence the medical and laboratory staff needs to be alert to recognise this condition. We report a case of brucellosis which reflects the same.
