Lymphadenopathy and fever in a chef during a stay in Europe*

چکیده
This case illustrates a rare presentation (as lymphadenopathy and fever) of one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide--brucellosis--in a 22-year-old Brazilian male (a chef) who had recently returned to Brazil after having lived in and traveled around Europe for one year. The histopathology, clinical history, and response to treatment were all consistent with a diagnosis of brucellosis, which was confirmed by PCR in a urine sample. We also review some aspects of brucellosis, such as the clinical features, diagnosis, and management.
