Özet

Background: Brucellosis is a multisystemic zoonosis that can affect all body organs and systems. Musculoskeletal system is the most affected system; however, cutaneous involvement is quite rare. Case Report: A 31-year-old male who was previously healthy was admitted with fever and generalized maculopapular rash for the last three days before his admission to the hospital. He was eventually diagnosed with brucellosis based on the clinical history and epidemiological features. Brucellosis treatment was administered for six weeks and the patient recovered completely. Conclusion: In endemic regions, brucellosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of the patients presenting with fever and generalized maculopapular rash.
