This article reports a rare case of spondylodiscitis and highlights the importance of investigating brucellosis in patients with prolonged spondylodiscitis who do not respond to conventional antibiotic treatments. Furthermore, it highlights the need for a complete epidemiological e radiologic analysis and the performance of specific serological tests for an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause. Early suspicion, based on a detailed history and careful diagnosis, together with advances in imaging techniques, is crucial for planning effective treatment.]]></p></abstract>
