ABSTRACT
Brucellosis is a zoonosis, which is caused by Brucella abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis and B. canis. Brucellosis has been an emerging disease since the discovery of B. melitensis, by Bruce, in 1887. Worldwide, brucellosis remains a major source of disease in both humans and domesticated animals. A high prevalence in certain geographical areas is well recognized, but has been largely underestimated. In Korea, the first human case of Brucellosis occurred in 2002, but the incidence of human brucellosis has now increased. Herein, a case of epididymorchitis due to brucellosis is reported.
