Brucellosis remains prevalent in developing countries and results in substantial economic losses and human morbidity. The number of brucellosis cases increased in southeast Xinjiang provinces of China in recent years; however, the clinical epidemiological features of brucellosis in here are unclear. In this study, 160 patients with brucellosis in Bazhou People's Hospital between January 2014 an...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, human brucellosis remains an important and widespread infection. In the past, there were limited data on the occurrence of human brucellosis in the United Arab Emirates and the reported incidence appeared to be low compared with similar areas. In 2009, a new web-based infectious disease surveillance system was introduced in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This paper reports data...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution and has great economic importance. Despite its control in many countries, it remains endemic in Iran. Brucellosis was investigated in many high risk occupational groups; however, few studies on the prevalence of brucellosis among blood donors are available. To determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis antibod...

Brucellosis is a highly zoonotic disease that affects animals and human beings. Brucella suis is the etiological agent of porcine brucellosis and one of the major human brucellosis pathogens. Laboratory diagnosis of porcine brucellosis mainly relies on serological tests, and it has been widely demonstrated that serological assays based on the detection of anti O-polysaccharide antibodies are th...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in some areas of Iran. Brucellosis has various clinical manifestations and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of many infectious and non-infectious diseases. The aims of this study were to determine the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory findings of the disease in patients with brucellosis in Hamadan, wes...

To characterize the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of inhalational brucellosis, Balb/c mice were challenged with Brucella melitensis 16M in a nose-only aerosol exposure chamber. A low dose of 1000 cfu/animal of B. melitensis resulted in 45% of mice with tissue burdens eight weeks post-challenge. The natural history of brucellosis in mice challenged by higher aerosol doses was examine...

Brucellosis is an abortifacient zoonotic disease which remains prominent in third world countries like Nepal. Brucellosis possess a public health concern, the incidences of which in livestocks can present substantial economic and health burdens for herders and health professionals. In Nepal, several cases of bovine including human brucellosis have been reported. This paper aims to evaluate the ...

LTHOUGH it has been known for many years that brucella may invade the bone marrow, there is a paucity of precise information concerning the pathological changes that take place in this organ as a result of brucellosis. The available descriptions have resulted from a study of human material obtained at autopsy and investigations of tissues from experimentally infected animals. The present study ...

Brucellosis may involve multiple organs and progresses with complications. Brucella endocarditis, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and chronic renal insufficiency are rare complications of brucellosis. Capillary leak syndrome due to brucellosis is seen even more rarely and up to this date, only one case has been reported. Our case will probably be the second. In this article, a cas...
