We describe the case of a student with a history of two and a half months of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cutaneous, hematological and bone manifestations, within an epidemiological background compatible with the diagnosis of Brucellosis. Diagnosis of Brucella abortus was confirmed by serology and positive blood cultures. Clinical manifestations of brucellosis and diagnostic and treatment strategies are reviewed
