Abstract
We describe a case of a 10 year old patient who presented with intermittent fever and pain in the pelvis and elbow region. From the history, imaging and laboratory tests, a diagnosis of Brucella sacroiliitis and elbow osteoarthritis was made. The patient was given an antibiotic treatment for 3 months with a progressive improvement of symptoms to complete recovery, and normalization of imaging and laboratory findings.
