Abstract
Brucellosis is a public health problem that is prevalent in several developing countries. Brucellosis is a disease that commonly afflicts herbivores and can result in abortions as well as the loss of milk and meat production in animals. This disease is an endemic zoonotic by Brucella species bacteria. Diagnosing brucellosis is difficult due to the nonspecific signs and symptoms of the disease. According to the duration of the symptoms, brucellosis can be categorised as acute, subacute or chronic. A 72 year old female patient complained of generalized fatigue, and laboratory findings revealed hypercalcemia. This paper reports a case of hypercalcemia due to Brucella disease.
