ABSTRACT
Laboratory-acquired infections are rarely diagnosed and reported. Brucella species are highly contagious when handled in the laboratory. Therefeore, brucellosis is one of the most common laboratory-acquired bacterial infections. Laboratory workers get infected by either inhalation or by direct contact through the injured skin. We present a case of laboratory-acquired brucellosis [LAB] caused by Brucella melitensis. In conclusion, despite the enforcement of infection control measures, including the use of biosafety cabinet in the laboratory, laboratory-acquired brucellosis still maintains its importance because of infected sample handling by the workers
