Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection involving many systems and it is widespread in Turkey. Involvement of muscular and skeletal systems is a common complication of brucellosis. Involvement of genitourinary system (epididymoorchitis) is a rarer complication (Sozen TH. Infeksiyon Hastaliklari. 1996; pp. 486-493; Edward J. Young.
