Breast Brucellosis in Taif, Saudi Arabia: cluster of six cases with emphasis on FNA evaluation

Abstract

Brucellosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of breast abscess in endemic areas where ingestion of unpasteurized milk and milk products is common. Needle aspiration establishes a preliminary diagnosis and has the advantage of material submission for microbiologic cultures and provides focal treatment along with long-term combined antibacterial treatment for the control of systemic infection.
