Abstrakt:	The article presents information on late reactivation of calcified granuloma in a patient with chronic suppurative brucellosis. Brucella is one of the world's major zoonotic pathogens. It is responsible for enormous economic losses as well as considerable human morbidity in endemic areas. Chronic hepatosplenic abscess (CHSA) is a severe, though infrequent, complication of brucellosis. A search of the literature revealed just 60 cases. CHSA appears to be a clinical entity with its own characteristics, which clearly differentiate it from splenic infarctions with abscesses, occasionally associated with endocarditis and from small, asymptomatic abscesses detected in acute bacteremic forms of brucellosis.
