Abstract :
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with widespread prevalence. It presents with in various range and often with the presence of nonspecifi
c clinical signs and symptoms. Brucellosis also may cause diff erent manifestations in eyes such as uveitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis
and neuro-ophthalmic defects. Ocular brucellosis is rare among children. Herein, we present a 7-year-old girl with systemic and
ocular brucellosis. After treatment with systemic steroid and antibiotics, her signs and symptoms disappeared. Since early treatment
is important in preventing permanent visual loss and the other complications of ocular brucellosis, examination of the eyes in
brucellosis patients must always be noticed by clinicians working in this fi eld.
