Abstract
Three cases with suppurative complications of Brucella melitensis infection are presented, demonstrating localized involvement of the brain, bones and lungs, respectivcly, and the lesions were well defined on radiographic examination. The diagnosis was made on the basis of significant Brucella titres and positive blood culture. Awarness of such complications and performance of the appropriate serological and bacteriological studies will establish the diagnosis and will also differentiate this discase from other infections, especially tuberculosis.Keywords
