title: [Analysis of a case with Brucellosis misdiagnosed as osteoarthrosis].
abstract: Brucellosis is far more frequent in a pasturing area in the northern part of our country and it has many clinical manifestations. It may cause multiple organ damage and its features lack specificity. It is rare in the south, so it is extremely easy to be misdiagnosed or overlooked. The retrospective analysis of a case with Brucellosis misdiagnosed as osteoarthrosis provides a guide for clinical doctors to understand Brucellosis, so that early diagnosis would be accessible, and prognosis could be improved.
