title: Brucellar spondylitis.
abstract: The incidence of Brucellosis is increasing in Korea. Spondylitis is the most frequent complication, but it is difficult to diagnose because its clinical symptoms are non-specific. It should therefore be included in the differential diagnosis of back pain. We report three rare cases of brucellar spondylitis successfully treated by medical and surgical therapy.
