Abstract
The authors report on a case of febrile necrotizing brucellosis hepati c granulomatis in a patient living in brucellosis endemia areas. This hepatic localization of brucellosis is rare: to our knowledge only 28 cases have been described in the literature. The bacteriological diagn osis was not established by blood or abscess pus cultures, but by Bruc ella serology only. Surgery completed by biantibiotherapy have permitt ed a complete recovery.
