Abstract
We report an unusual case of brucellar spondylitis, involving both the cerv ical and lumbar spine. Diagnosis was established using magnetic resonance i maging (MRI). An initial plain radiograph of the lumbar spine, showing mild degenerative lesions, was misleading. Therefore, institution of a proper t reatment was delayed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.
