text: Yo, check it out, I got a study to drop
  Two-six-three patients, brucellosis nonstop
  From January '84 to December '87, let's go
  Prospective research, here's what we know
  
  Twenty-five percent, sixty-five patients in the mix
  Osteoarticular complications, they're in the fix
  Longer course for them, compared to the rest
  Spondylitis and sacroiliitis put their bodies to the test
  
  Lab, serology, bacteriology, no difference found
  Between those with complications and those safe and sound
  Radiographic abnormalities, seventy-two percent show
  Axial sites mainly affected, periphery's a no-go
  
  Bone scan lit up, seventeen cases in sight
  No radiographic issues, but something ain't right
  Fifty-seven patients treated with meds alone
  Eighty-nine percent cured, their pain overthrown
  
  But six patients faced failure, or relapse, oh no
  Spondylitis got 'em, couldn't let 'em go
  Twelve percent, eight patients needed surgery's might
  Spondylitis, abscesses, it was a surgical fight
