title: [Sarcoidosis and brucellosis: a strange and infrequent association].
abstract: A cattlewoman, a 63-year-old patient with sarcoidosis associated to mellitensis brucellosis, was studied. Clinical manifestations of both multisystemic diseases were compared, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic aspects; we concluded that coexistence of both entities is infrequent but may occur due to increased presentation of the diseases.
