Abstract EN
We are reporting what we think is probably the first case of brucellosis in a Bahraini patient.
Our patient was a 54 year old Bahraini who presented with a history of fever of three weeks and back pain.
He has elevated liver enzymes, highly positive brucella serology and his spinal MRI revealed multilevel spondylitis.
He was diagnosed as having Brucellar spondylitis and was treated with two courses of antibiotics over a period of 8 months.
He improved dramatically and was discharged from the hospital in March 2007 and since then he had no recurrence.
