N2 - Brucellosis, a systemic infection, can affect various organs, including the genitourinary system, causing epididymo-orchitis in 2%–20 % of cases. This report details a 34-year-old Thai male migrant worker with febrile orchitis. Initial gentamicin treatment failed, but serological tests confirmed brucellosis, likely from raw dairy consumption. The patient was successfully treated with gentamicin, doxycycline, and rifampicin, resulting in complete symptom resolution. Brucella orchitis, though rare, should be considered in patients from endemic areas. Conservative treatment with combined antibiotics is typically effective.
