The traditional lifestyle and beliefs of pastoralists and small-scale farmers with confined livestock, together with certain farming environments, create favourable conditions for the spread and transmission of brucellosis. The risks associated with these practices are difficult to control because of a lack of alternatives and simple and/or affordable solutions. Brucellosis affects the health a...

TO THE EDITOR—Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease worldwide [1]. The epidemiology of human brucellosis has drastically changed owing to changing sanitary and socioeconomic conditions, and the substantial increase in international travel. New foci of human brucellosis have emerged or reemerged, with brucellosis becoming a travel-related disease, particularly in nonendemic areas [2–4]. Aware...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis remains a neglected zoonotic disease among agro-pastoral communities where unprocessed milk and milk products are consumed. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Kiboga district to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with human brucellosis in communities where livestock rearing in a common practice. METHODS A total of 235 participants were invo...

Brucellosis is a common zoonosis, endemic in Mediterranean countries, and caused by bacteria of Brucella genus. Brucellosis is a systemic infection and the clinical presentation varies widely from asymptomatic and mild to severe disease. Cardiovascular complications are extremely rare. We present a case of arterial thrombosis in a previously healthy young patient with Brucella endocarditis. Car...

Brucella endocarditis (BE) is a rare but life threatening complication of brucellosis. We present a case report of a patient with relapsing brucellosis complicated with aortic valve endocarditis. The patient underwent valve replacement and required prolonged antibiotic treatment because of rupture of the noncoronary leaflet and development of congestive heart failure. Since the onset of endocar...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic infection, constitutes a major health and economic problem in many parts of the world, including countries of the Mediterranean Basin, The Middle East and The Arabian Gulf. Hematological complications in brucellosis are common and can be multi-factorial due to the pathogen's tropism for central (bone marrow) and peripheral (spleen) organs of the reticuloendothelial syste...

Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...
