Abstract
Brucellosis is a systemic infection, caused by facultative intra-cellular bacteria of the genus Brucella, that can involve many organs and tissues. We present a 42-year old man with spinal and testicular soft tissue involvement caused by brucellosis. Complete recovery was achieved after 12 weeks triple antibiotic treatment.
