Abstract

The authors report a case of symphysis pubis osteomyelitis due to Brucella. Such localisation seems not to have been reported before. Despite an initially bad observance of antibiotic treatment, evolution has finally been favourable. At two year follow-up, no functional or radiological sequellae was observed.
