The paper describes a diagnostically challenging case of recurrent fever with an atypical course in a 55-year-old man. The authors highlight the significant difficulty in reaching a correct diagnosis, as well as the doubts and problems associated with the diagnostics. They suggest considering brucellosis as a diagnosis based on the patient's history and the course of the disease characterized by fluctuating, intermittent, and nocturnal fever.
