Case series reveals complex hepatobiliary and pulmonary symptoms in patients with brucellosis, suggesting improved clinical awareness is necessary for proper diagnosis.

Key Points

MAIN FINDING: Brucellosis can present with unusual hepatobiliary and pulmonary symptoms that are often misdiagnosed.
KEY EVIDENCE: Three patients with brucellosis showed abdominal pain, jaundice, and pulmonary signs, requiring extended antibiotic treatment.
APPROACH: The patients were initially misdiagnosed due to limited diagnostics and presented with diagnostic challenges in a resource-limited setting.
SIGNIFICANCE: Recognizing the clinical patterns of brucellosis can lead to timely treatment and prevent unnecessary surgeries.
