Brucellosis is an endemic infectious disease in our country. Clinical signs and symptoms are spread over a wide spectrum; musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system and the genitourinary system can be affected. Elevation of transaminases is a common finding in brucellosis due to involvement of reticuloendothelial system including the liver and spleen. In the patient presented here, hepatic cirrhosis was found due to chronic hepatitis B and delta hepatitis infection in the investigations made for not to overlook viral causes that might cause transaminase elevation and it was emphasized that these possible conditions shouldn’t be overlooked in our region where brucellosis and hepatitis B are common.
