Özet
Diagnosis of brucella infection may be difficult, because it can mimic many other diseases. We report a 57-year old man who had presented with the complaints of radiculopathy, and was diagnosed as cervical spondylodiscitis. The spondylodiscitis was diagnosed via rose bengal test, positive serology, and positive culture results after the initial suspicion with magnetic resonance imaging. Streptomycin for 14 days and doxycycline rifampicin for tree months were used for the treatment. Brucellar spondylodiscitis in the cervical region is a rare presentation, beside that prognosis with early diagnosis and adequate treatment is good.
