| Core Tip |
Brucella infection of both the prostate and lumbar spine is rare. We present a case of such an atypical presentation. The patient presented with fever and low back pain. Abnormally elevated serum prostate-specific antigen levels and abnormally high metabolic signals in the prostate and lumbar spine were indicated on positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans, all of which were suggestive of a diagnosis of prostate cancer with lumbar metastases, except for the unexplained periodic fever. Blood culture and agglutination tests were used to confirm brucellosis. This case highlights the need to pay more attention to and identify the atypical symptoms caused by Brucella infection. |
