[Pseudogout in a perspiring farmer].
A diagnostic argument in favour of brucellosis can be depicted in the various appearances of osteo-articular complications providing that one has at one's disposal the correct case history (exposure to contagion), some hemocultures (positive in nearly 60% of acute and subacute cases) and a battery of serological tests. Arthritis of the big toe is exceptional in this context, be it in the severe and destructive form or in the mild and transient form. The authors describe a case of this latter type in a farmer and present a review of the literature concerning the osteo-articular complications of Brucellosis.
