Description
Summary:Key Clinical Message The main target of this report was that brucellosis can occur in unexpected and very rare patterns. We reported this patient to acknowledge all of clinicians especially those living in the endemic areas, that these rare complications of brucellosis can also be treated by the standard treatment of this disease. Brucellosis is a thousand‐face disease and common zoonotic infection in endemic regions. A 42‐year‐old female was admitted with sternoclavicular arthritis and breast abscess. After laboratory investigation and imaging, positive serological test results and positive blood culture for Brucella revealed acute sternoclavicular arthritis and breast abscess due to brucellosis.
