Abstract

 

Brucellosis is neglected but important zoonotic disease when it comes about spondylodiscitis. Here, we are presenting rare case of 54 years old male with brucellosis spondylodiscitis which is diagnosed by serum agglutinin test and had undergone L5-S1 Level discectomy with L5 Partial coprpectomy with L4-L5-S1 Screw and rod fixation for the same. Postoperative period was uneventful and he was discharged on fourth postoperative day with complete neurological recovery. Due to atypical presentation and prevalence of spinal tuberculosis, diagnosis of
brucellosis is challenging but with proper investigation battery and right treatment, patient can be saved from greater morbidity.
Keywords: Brucellosis; Spondylodiscitis; Zoonotic disease.
