Abstract
Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease in many countries including Turkey. Brucellosis is characterized
by a variety of symptoms because it can affect many organs in the body. For these reasons, the diagnosis can
be challenging. Here we presented a case of septic arthritis due to brucellosis who was admitted to
orthopaedics clinics with only swelling and pain in the left knee. There were no more complaints.
