Brucellosis is considered one of the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide. It can affect any organ system and presents with many clinical manifestations related to the organ affected. It is quite uncommon for brucellosis to affect the breast. Here, we present a case of a 41-year-old female who presented with breast abscess associated with generalized symptoms such as fever, fatigue, epigastric pain, and arthralgia. Subsequent pus culture followed by blood culture confirms the diagnosis of brucellosis. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to take brucellosis into account when making a differential diagnosis for breast abscesses, especially in regions where the disease is endemic or in patients who have risk factors for zoonotic diseases.
布鲁氏菌病被认为是全球最常见的细菌性人畜共患病之一。它可影响任何器官系统，并表现出与受影响器官相关的多种临床表现。布鲁氏菌病累及乳腺相当罕见。在此，我们报告一例41岁女性病例，该患者表现为乳腺脓肿，并伴有发热、乏力、上腹部疼痛和关节痛等全身症状。随后的脓液培养及血培养确诊为布鲁氏菌病。该病例强调了在对乳腺脓肿进行鉴别诊断时考虑布鲁氏菌病的重要性，尤其是在该病流行地区或具有人畜共患病危险因素的患者中。
