Background: In a low transmission zone for malaria, we explored the presence of brucellosis as an alternative diagnosis in febrile patients. Specifically, the objective of our study was to determine the proportion of patients presenting to the hospital with malaria-like febrile symptoms that were concurrently brucellosis seropositive, and assess related risk factors. Methods: The study was done...

Russia has extensive experience in controlling brucellosis in large and small animals, based on systematic animal health and disease control measures, combined with the use of specific prophylaxis. Widespread application of the live brucellosis vaccine Brucella abortus strain 82 has led to a dramatic reduction in the prevalence of brucellosis. Among the distinctive properties of this vaccine ar...

Brucella sp. antibodies, despite falling to low levels, can remain measurable after recovery from acute brucellosis (1). Recently, several studies have shown the persistence of Brucella sp. DNA in both chronic brucellosis patients and asymptomatic subjects with a history of brucellosis (2–4, 6). However, to our knowledge, the association between serum antibodies and Brucella sp. DNA has not bee...

An Egyptian female with night sweats, headache, and back pain was diagnosed with acute brucellosis one week after returning from a North African country. Humoral immune responses to specific immunogenic proteins were investigated before and after treatment. ELISA was performed to detect levels of specific antibody (Ab) titers. Immunoblot analysis of Ab recognizing specific Brucella antigenic ba...

Brucellosis is an infection that affects mammals’ cells caused by a species from the genus Brucella, gram-negative, immobile, facultative, intracellular, and microaerophilic coccobacillus. In humans, pathogen are Brucella melitensis, B. abortus, suis canis. We presenting case of 62-year-old man with confirmed brucellosis his consequent cardiovascular, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, hepatic, osteo...
