“…On the fourth day of treatment, she responded and the joint symptoms improved significantly the discharge from the patient's left breast was stopped after starting the treatment and she was discharged and recommended to continue the outpatient treatment and follow-up. The prognosis of brucella arthritis will be very good if appropriate and in time treatment is begun [12,19]. Unlike spondylitis, both sacroiliitis and peripheral arthritis are nondestructive and quickly curable with no sequelae [2,12].…”

“…For children aged below eight and even infants, a combination of rifampin (20 mg/kg/ day), trimethoprim TMP (6-8 mg/kg/day), and sulfamethoxazole SMX (30-40 mg/kg/day) is recommended for six to eight weeks of continuous treatment. Triple combination therapy is more efficacious and shows a lower recurrence rate [60]. Three-week treatment with doxycycline can achieve optimal efficacy for infants and children aged below eight without other side effects [61].…”

Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease posing serious threats to the health of humans and animals. Currently, effective therapeutics available for brucellosis are in urgent demand. Brucellosis is transmitted to humans through diet or contact with infected animals. Several live‐attenuated vaccine strains are commercially available for animals, such as Brucella melitensis Rev.1, Brucella abortus S19, and RB51. However, no secure and effective vaccine for human beings has been developed yet against brucellosis, for which antibiotic therapy is the most frequently used and valid. Nevertheless, excessive antibiotics could prohibit the sensitivity of Brucella and develop resistance in humans. In addition, other clinical treatments, such as surgical treatment, have little effect on brucellosis. Therefore, novel treatment protocols should be explored. Based on numerous experimental studies, it is speculated that brucellosis can be fundamentally treated by inhibiting the activation of the type IV secretion system and changing the acidic environment of eBCV. In addition, previous literature showed that traditional Chinese medicine therapy also had certain efficacy, providing a new perspective angle for the exploration of treatment options.

Key Clinical MessageThe main target of this report was that brucellosis can occur in unexpected and very rare patterns. We reported this patient to acknowledge all of clinicians especially those living in the endemic areas, that these rare complications of brucellosis can also be treated by the standard treatment of this disease.AbstractBrucellosis is a thousand‐face disease and common zoonotic infection in endemic regions. A 42‐year‐old female was admitted with sternoclavicular arthritis and breast abscess. After laboratory investigation and imaging, positive serological test results and positive blood culture for Brucella revealed acute sternoclavicular arthritis and breast abscess due to brucellosis.
