Fever during acute rehabilitation in patients with a spinal cord injury is a
common problem. Infection, typically of the urinary or respiratory tract, is the
most frequent cause of fever in these circumstances.
We report a case of Brucella
sepsis as a cause of fever in a patient with a spinal cord injury who was
undergoing acute rehabilitation. We discuss the epidemiology, differential
diagnosis, and evaluation of fever in persons with Brucella infection, as well as
fever in patients with a spinal cord injury in the acute rehabilitation setting.
