Abstract
A case of supra-patellar bursitis with the formation of discharging si nus is described. B abortus was isolated from resected bursal tissue. While osteoarticular complications of brucellosis are common and a num ber of different clinical syndromes are now recognised, disease of the bursae is rare and as far as is known sinus formation has not been de scribed before in this setting.
