Conclusion:
Brucella pleurisy is an extremely rare complication of brucellosis, even in an endemic region. The physician should always be aware of any symptom associated with respiratory involvement in a patient with brucellosis or with a history of the disease, because this complication may occur in the sub-acute phase of the disease. In the case of uncommon brucella pleurisy, effective management can result in both clinical and radiological improvement.
