Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection transmitted from animals to human by ingestion of infected food products, direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Brucella infection-induced osteomyelitis may present only with nonspecific clinical and radiographic findings, mild elevations in serum inflammatory markers, as well as nonspecific histological changes. We studied a case of an Iraqi war veteran with multifocal vertebral body and left iliac bone lesions on radio nucleotide scans and magnetic resonance imaging, clinically suspected osteomyelitis possibly because of Brucella. Although histomorphological findings were nonspecific, consisting of chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate and reactive fibrosis, tissue gram and silver impregnation stains of bone biopsies were informative, revealing gram-negative coccobacilli consistent in size with Brucella species. Total nucleic acids were extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues and amplified by sequential real-time polymerase chain reaction, targeting genes coding (1) outer membrane protein (omp-31) of Brucella species and (2) insertion sequence (IS711) of Brucella abortus (b-abt). Polymerase chain reaction results confirmed B. abortus as the causative pathogens for presumed diagnosis of Brucella osteomyelitis.
