Undulant Fevers and Bitemporal Headaches: A Clinical Presentation of Human Brucellosis

Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection endemic to certain areas of the Mediterranean, Middle East, Central America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. We present a case of brucellosis in a patient who recently traveled to Grenada and returned to the United States with a wide degree of symptoms. This case explores the etiology, clinical presentation, investigation, and treatment of brucellosis. Though a patient’s clinical presentation may be non-specific, the recognition of potential etiologies may aid in empirically treating the infection prior to laboratory confirmation.
