    Acute cholecystitis, a rare complication of brucellosis, occurred in a patient with Brucella suis infection. The bacteria were cultured from blood and gallbladder, highlighting a unique presentation of this systemic disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Systemic brucellosis is a zoonotic infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Acute cholecystitis is an uncommon presentation of systemic brucellosis.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with acute noncalculous cholecystitis.
    • Brucella suis was successfully cultured from both the patient's blood and gallbladder tissue.

    Findings:

    • The findings confirm Brucella suis as the causative agent of acute cholecystitis in this patient.
    • Microbial culture provided definitive diagnosis of the specific Brucella species involved.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering brucellosis in the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, especially in endemic areas.
