The aim of this study was to investigate the ocular involvement of brucellosis and highlight key points. Material and Methods: Published literature in English language on the ocular involvement of brucellosis within last 30 years was evaluated. The PubMed international database was screened using certain keywords. Results: The study included 27 publications evaluating a total of 159 cases. The most common types of ocular involvement were uveitis (52.2%) and conjunctivitis (17.6%). Most cases had concomitant systemic brucellosis (27.7%), and the most commonly used diagnostic method was a serological test (92.4%). Of all the patients, 37.1% recovered with sequelae. Conclusion: Brucellosis may cause a wide range of ophthalmic manifestations, and an overlooked or late diagnosis may also lead to the development of sequelae or loss of vision. A routine ophthalmologic examination should be performed in all patients with systemic brucellosis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrucellaBrucellosisEndophthalmitisOcular involvementPooled analysisUveitisArticle11010.1080/09273948.2022.2164727Q2WOS:0009135348000012-s2.0-8514679225536638336
