Abstract
To present a case of brucellosis-related unilateral dacryoadenitis. A 16-year-old boy had unilateral lacrimal gland enlargement, shown by magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits. Clinical findings, tube agglutination, the culture of a lacrimal gland aspirate, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of brucellosis. Tube agglutination testing for brucellosis gave a titer of over 1/640. The aspirate from the lacrimal glands grew Brucella melitensis and histopathological findings were consistent with brucellosis. Dacryoadenitis may occur in the course of systemic brucellosis caused by Brucella melitensis.
