Abstract

A 21-year-old Peruvian man presented with sacroiliitis, fever, elevated liver enzymes, abdominal and right scrotal pain. Brucellosis was diagnosed based on culture and serological data. Appropriate therapy led to full recovery. Our case presents a timely reminder that brucellosis should always be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of sacroiliitis.
