A cholecystectomy and aspiration of the abscess were performed. Two days later, B. melitensis was isolated from 2 blood cultures that had been drawn on admission. B. melitensis was also cultured from the aspirate of the liver abscess. [emro.who.int]
The diagnosis can be established by detection of brucella species in blood cultures or tissue aspirates. [pancreas.imedpub.com]
It is well known that positive blood cultures, as well as cultures from percutaneously aspirated pus, are uncommon in prolonged cases. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Physical examination revealed mild hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, confirmed by an abdominal ultrasound and CT imaging. [emro.who.int]
The abdominal physical examination revealed mild tenderness of the right hypochondrium with no peritoneal signs and a slight, smooth-edged right liver lobe hepatomegaly. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Night Sweats
The clinical presentation can vary from asymptomatic infection with seroconversion to a full-blown clinical picture of fever, night sweats and joint manifestations; occasionally, there is hepatic, cardiac, ocular or central nervous system involvement [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation A 34-year-old Greek woman was admitted to our hospital with a 2-month standing evening fever of up to 38.5 C, night sweats, arthralgia, and weakness. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Etiology
Therefore, its etiology is multifactorial, with each component having different impacts on different patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Brucella spp. are very rarely implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease, but should be considered as the etiologic agent especially in elderly, debilitated patients. [emro.who.int]
