Brucellosis is infrequently reported in the United States and is mostly an occupational hazard among workers engaged in livestock raising and processing. It is a systemic infectious disease and can involve the liver in varying ways, ranging from benign subclinical increases in serum aminotransferase levels to ominous chronic suppurative disease. It is endemic in many countries, primarily those of the Mediterranean region. It is usually treated with antibiotics. We present a case of a 37-year-old female who developed Brucella melitensis-induced transaminitis, which improved with proper diagnosis and management.
