Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Musculoskeletal system involvement is common in patients with brucellosis. Herein we report a patient who presented with bilateral arthralgia in the ankles and diffuse swelling of the left hand in the follow-up. He had been diagnosed with brucellosis and improved well after a 10-week duration of antibiotic therapy. Rheumatic diseases may have many infectious mimickers. Brucellosis is one of those that should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
