brucellosis is not uncommon in children in endemic areas. we described clinical and laboratory features and therapeutic regimens for brucellosis in children under 14 who admitted in the pediatric medical center hospital, tehran, iran from march 1988 until february 2001. the male: female ratio was 2:1. family history of brucellosis and consumption of un-pasteurized milk and dairy products was po...

Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infections were reported in Auvergne in 1988 to 1989, while brucellosis due to Brucella abortus was almost eliminated. The serologic cross-reactions between the two bacteria complicated the diagnosis of brucellosis cases. In 1996, human cases of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infection were detected, with a peak incidence of 12 cases. Veterinary surveillance could have ...

A case of human brucellosis was diagnosed in France in January 2012. The investigation demonstrated that the case had been contaminated by raw milk cheese from a neighbouring dairy farm. As France has been officially free of bovine brucellosis since 2005, veterinary investigations are being conducted to determine the origin of the infection and avoid its spread among other herds. Hypotheses abo...

Human brucellosis in South Africa (SA) is under-diagnosed and under-reported. This is because many clinicians have little or no experience in managing affected patients, and in part because of the nonspecific and insidious nature of the disease. A case of human brucellosis caused by Brucella melitensis in a patient from the Western Cape Province of SA is described, and the resulting exposure of...

conclusions this infection was observed with a diversity of clinical manifestations. therefore, diagnostic difficulty because of the various clinical presentations and the way to find undiagnosed complications should be investigated in the differential diagnosis of other diseases. results most of the patients (73.8%) were in the acute stages of brucellosis, 22.6% had sub-acute brucellosis and 3...

the incidence of brucellosis has been increased in recent years. this imposes many economical and health related problems among rural and tribe people. khuzestan province is in low infected range of iran provinces. we reviewed the epidemiological, clinical and demographical specialty of patient referred to health centers and laboratories of andimeshk township in year 2006. medical records of 50...

Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule with variety of biological functions, which include its immunoregulatory action in mammals. Brucellosis worldwide endemic zoonotic disease caused by the Brucella, not only causes huge economic losses for livestock industry but also impacts human health. To target this problem, current study, two marker-free transgenic sheep overexpressing melatonin synthetic ...

Between 1996 and 1998, a total of 2,494 samples of blood from humans and animals were collected and tested for brucellosis. This total included 1,594 samples of animal blood, collected from 1,050 sheep from 20 flocks, and 544 goats from eight herds. The serum samples were tested using the Rose Bengal test, the tube agglutination test, the complement fixation test and an enzyme-linked immunosorb...

molecular detection techniques are believed to be key tools for both prevention and treatment follow up of brucellosis within live stock and human beings. consequently rapid, reliable, easy to perform and automated systems for brucella detection are urgently needed to allow early diagnosis and adequate antibiotic therapy in time. brucellosis is a worldwide re-emerging zoonosis causing high econ...
