Abstract

Two cases of thyroiditis due to Brucella melitensis are reported. Both occurred in foreigners working in Switzerland and presented with characteristic symptoms of thyroiditis which masked those of brucellosis. Cultures were diagnostic. One patient had concomitant thyroid malignancy. Both showed normal thyroid function and were cured following antibiotic treatment.
