[Brucella sacroiliitis in a West African].
A brucelian sacro-iliitis is reported in a 33-year-old West African man recently arrived from Mali. Thus, clinical, biological, radiological, and isotopic aspects could be precisely observed, and were found very similar to brucelian sacroiliitis in Europeans. Major information is required about the interest of technetium scintigraphy. The treatment included Rifampicin, in association with Doxycyclin and the theoretical bases of this choice are explained. Tolerance was good and a complete recovery was obtained after three months.
