Özet
Brucellosis is a disease of multisystem organ involvement and resembles many other diseases. Rare involvements of the disease include musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, while renal involvement is exceedingly rare. Herein, we present a case of acute renal failure (ARF) due to brucellosis infection manifesting with progressively elevated urea and creatinine levels. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to reveal an association between brucellosis infection and (ARF) in the literature. We wish to present this unusual manifestation of brucellosis infection in the hope that it will be a nice contribution to the pathogenesis of the disease and to the literature.
