Abstrakt: Any system or organ involvement can be seen in brucellosis, which is still a significant public health problem in developing countries. The rate of respiratory system involvement is lower than that of other systems and which is also difficult to document. Brucellosis-associated pleurisy is a rare complication even in endemic regions. In this case report, a 78-year-old male patient who was assessed for pleural effusion etiology is presented. Brucella spp. were isolated on the 14 th day of the pleural fluid incubation in the blood culture set and the patienthas been treated successfully for brucellosis. Based on our experience we think that it is important to use blood culture media for sterile body fluids, particularly for microorganisms that are difficult to isolate such as Brucella spp.
