Brucellosis is an enzootic infection caused by gram negative coccobacilli, the most important species is Brucella melitensis. Acute illness is associated with high swinging fever, rigors, lethargy, headache, myalgia and arthralgia. Localized infection occur in 30% of patients, particularly if treatment is delayed. We aimed in our manuscript to record a case of a female patient presented with convulsion and high grade swinging fever, admitted to the medical ward, investigation revealed the diagnosis of brucellosis. The patient was treated as a case of brucellosis until symptoms improved and discharged to continue medication for up to 6 weeks. Our study highlights the necessary of high suspicion for unusual presentations in dealing with medical cases.
