[Episcleritis and brucellosis. Apropos of a case].

A 35-year-old man presented a case of recurrent episcleritis revealing brucellosis. No concurrent diagnosis other than brucellosis could account for the episcleritis. Moreover his status was dramatically improved by specific antibiotherapy. A review of the literature showed that uveitis and optic neuropathies are the most common ocular manifestations of brucellosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of episcleritis associated with brucellosis.
