摘要：

Cardiac complications from brucellosis are unusual and usually manifest as endocarditis. The other possible complication is myocardial involvement. Brucella myocarditis and development of heart failure is a very rare complication of brucellosis. We present a patient with new onset heart failure due to brucella myocarditis treated with favorable antibiotic therapy.
