Rare form of brucellosis, subacromial and subdeltoid bursitis: A case report and literature review. Eklem Hastalik Cerrahisi. 2019 Dec;30(3):333-7 Authors: Çatal B Abstract Brucellosis is a zoonosis seen all over the world and is still endemic in certain parts of the world. Brucellosis is a systemic infection which involves multiple organs and tissues. Although musculoskeletal system involvement is frequent in brucellosis, bursal involvement is seen rarely. In this article, we present a case of subacromial and subdeltoid brucellar bursitis with positive serology and aspiration culture. Patient achieved complete recovery with rifampicin and doxycycline treatment, without any evidence of relapse. A high clinical suspicion is required for the diagnosis of brucellar bursitis.
