Brucellosis is a common zoonosis in many parts of the world. Human brucellosis is a multisystemic disease with a wide range of clinical symptoms. Biliary involvement in the form of acute cholecystitis is a very rare manifestation of brucellosis. Here we report the case of a 34-year-old male with acute cholecystitis caused by Brucella melitensis and review seven other cases. We conclude that brucella may have a focal effect on the gallbladder, in the form of acute cholecystitis.

We report a case of bacteremia associated with hemorrhagic bullous skin lesions on the leg caused by non-01, non-0139 Vibrio cholerae in a 66-year-old man with hemochromatosis developed in an inland region. The organism was isolated from blood and bullae fluid. The patient was treated successfully with cefotaxime and doxycycline. This report emphasizes the potential of this organism to produce bacteremic cellulitis in people with underlying illness in the absence of usual epidemiological risk factors.
