title: Bilateral primary brucellar psoas abscess.
abstract: Skeletal involvement is a relatively common complication of human brucellosis. Muscle infection and particularly psoas abcess is rarely reported and always secondary to spondylitis. We report here a case of brucellar abscesses in both psoas and right gluteal and posterior thigh muscles occurring without any skeletal, renal or bowel lesion.
