Zusammenfassung
A 37-year-old patient with cephalgia and fever after his return from Mexico is reported. Due to persistently elevated transaminases, a liver biopsy was performed. Histological examination revealed hepatic involvement of a granulomatous disease. Serologic analyses detected anti-Brucella IgM. The suspected diagnosis was thus brucellosis taking the typical anamnesis into account. Treatment with rifampicin and doxycycline led to a complete convalescence of the patient. Brucellosis is an anthropozoonosis that exists worldwide. Potential sources of infection are uncooked or unpasteurized milk and milk products of infected animals. Complete cure of most brucellosis-infected patients can be achieved by an early and adequate antibiotic treatment.
