Abstract (2. Language): 
Suppurative disease of the thoracal spine is a rare and serious complication of human brucellosis. We report an old lady in whom thoracal spine involved and abscesses of the paraspinal muscles occurred during acute brucellosis. Brucella melitensis was diagnosed serological and histopathological findings from biopsy of T9 spine and bone marrow biopsy from anterior superior iliac crest. After percutaneous drainage of the paraspinal abscesses a course of combined antimicrobial therapy to the patient was started. In endemic areas, brucellosis should be suspected in the evaluation of patients with unexplained supurative spine diseases and paraspinal abscesses.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Brusellozis'te torakal vertebra tutulumu nadir görülen ciddi bir komplikasyondur. Bu olgu sunumunda torakal vertebra tutulumu olan ve paraspinal apse gelişmiş yaşlı bir bayan hasta sunulmuştur. Hastada brusella tanısı hem kemik iliği hem de T9 vertebra korpusundan yapılan biopsilerin histopatolojik değerlendirilmesi ve serolojik testlerle konulmuştur. Paraspinal apselerin direne edilmesinden sonra hastaya kombine antimikrobiyal tedavi başlanmıştır. Endemik bölgelerde, açıklanamayan süpüratif vertebra hastalıklarında ve paraspinal apselerde brusellozis mutlaka akla gelmelidir. [Turgut Özal Tıp Merkezi Dergisi 1998;5(l):68-70]
