Abstract

Introduction: Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by gramnegative coccobacillus. Brucellosis, which is a disease common all over the world, is endemic in some regions. Musculoskeletal involvement is the most common complication of the disease, which can affect various organs and tissues. Case Report: Here, we report a case of brucellosis who became wheelchair-dependent due to low back and hip pain. Multiple sacroiliac joint abscesses were determined in her radiological examination, and she was diagnosed with septic sacroiliitis. Her symptoms resolved dramatically with combined therapy, and she started to walk again. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that brucellosis may present with severe complications, and especially, musculoskeletal involvement should be treated with triplet combined therapy.
