Sažetak

Brucellosis is probably the most common anthropozoonosis in the world, but in various aspects remains an enigma. A case is reported of a 64-year-old man with acute brucella hepatitis, which requires attention because it is rare in the literature. The etiology of the disease was proven by positive blood cultures and serologic test (ELISA IgM). Viral hepatitis markers and immunologic markers of autoimmune hepatitis were negative. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fever and hepatitis in those who live or have visited endemic areas, especially if the patient’s job is associated with a high risk of acquiring brucellosis.
