Abstract: Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic infection around the world that is caused by direct contact or consumption of infected animals meat or products. It is a multisystemic disease with a wide range of clinical symptoms. The disease may present with broad spectrum manifestations and involves many systems. Other less frequent complications include intraabdominal abscesses, appendicitis, ileitis, colitis and cholecystitis. Acute cholecystitis is a very rare presentation of brucellosis. Here we report case of a 61 year-old male with acute cholecystitis caused by B. Melitensis.
