    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection caused by *Brucella* species.
    • While endemic globally, it is considered uncommon in the United States.

    Observation:

    • The disease presents with highly variable signs and symptoms.
    • Musculoskeletal complaints are a frequent manifestation of brucellosis.

    Findings:

    • The protean manifestations of brucellosis contribute to diagnostic challenges.
    • Delayed or missed diagnoses are common in Western healthcare settings.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of brucellosis's varied presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis.
    • Healthcare providers should consider brucellosis in patients with unexplained, persistent symptoms, especially with relevant exposure history.
    • Public health initiatives may be needed to address underdiagnosis in non-endemic regions.
