[Necrotizing hepatic granuloma of brucellosis origin. Apropos of a case]
Abstract
The authors report on a case of febrile necrotizing brucellosis hepatic granulomatosis in a patient living in brucellosis endemia areas. This hepatic localization of brucellosis is rare: to our knowledge only 28 cases have been described in the literature. The bacteriological diagnosis was not established by blood or abscess pus cultures, but by Brucella serology only. Surgery completed by biantibiotherapy have permitted a complete recovery.
