Pese a ello, en Colombia tan solo se han descrito dos casos de infecci\u00f3n por este agente pat\u00f3geno, ninguno de ellos con compromiso osteoarticular. A continuaci\u00f3n, se describen tres casos de infecci\u00f3n por B. melitensis que se manifest\u00f3 inicialmente como espondilodiscitis, monoartritis y mielitis, respectivamente, y recibieron terapia antibi\u00f3tica combinada asociada con tratamiento quir\u00fargico, logr\u00e1ndose la resoluci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica. Estos casos resaltan la presencia de B. melitensis en Colombia y plantean la posibilidad del subdiagn\u00f3stico de una especie que antes del 2020 se consideraba ausente en el pa\u00eds.\nPublicaci\u00f3n retractada en:\nArt\u00edculo retractado: Infecci\u00f3n por Brucella melitensis con compromiso osteoarticular: primeros casos reportados en ColombiaCategor\u00eda: Presentaci\u00f3n de casoRecibido: 29\/11\/2024Revisado: 09\/06\/2025Aceptado: 09\/07\/2025Publicaci\u00f3n anticipada: 11\/07\/2025Publicado: 07\/06\/2026Retractado: 11\/08\/2026Citaci\u00f3n: D\u00edaz RA, Ram\u00edrez-S\u00e1nchez IC, Montoya D.
