A case of Brucellosis with skin eruptions

Abstract

Brucellosis is the most widespread zoonotic infection. Severe complications involving the musculoskeletal, nervous, genitourinary, and cardiovascular systems could be encountered during the course of the disease. However, cutaneous complications are rarely discussed. I present a case of Brucella with vulvar abscess and skin purpura. Brucella is an infectious disease that should always be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of skin rashes and lesions of the vaginal mucosa.
