Brucellosis is an endemic infectious disease in our country.
Clinical signs and symptoms are spread over a wide
spectrum; musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular
system and the genitourinary system can be
affected. Elevation of transaminases is a common finding
in brucellosis due to involvement of reticuloendothelial
system including the liver and spleen. In the patient presented
here, hepatic cirrhosis was found due to chronic
hepatitis B and delta hepatitis infection in the investigations
made for not to overlook viral causes that might
cause transaminase elevation and it was emphasized
that these possible conditions shouldn’t be overlooked in
our region where brucellosis and hepatitis B are common.
