Brucellosis is an infectious disease whose transmition is by the ingestion of contaminated foods. We discuss two cases characterized by generalized erythematous rash and febrile syndrome without an apparent focus. Both had a history of exposure to artisanal cheeses. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data confirmed the diagnosis, initiating antibiotic treatment. We follow up each patient and performed a brief review of the literature.
