Abstract Background Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella spp., namely B. melitensis and abortus in humans. Culturing the gold standard method for diagnosis; however, because slow-growing bacterium, which may delay diagnosis, other faster methods, such as serology, are used. Studies on correlation between antibody titers clinical outcomes limited. Therefore, this study assessed e...

Acute cholecystitis is a very rare presentation of brucellosis. A case of acalculous cholecystitis caused by Brucella melitensis is reported with a review of previously reported cases.

Brucellosis caused by various species of the genus Brucella is one most important zoonotic diseases global importance with veterinary, public health, and economic concerns. The study aimed to standardize IgM IgG-based iELISA detect anti-Brucella antibodies for serodiagnosis acute chronic human brucellosis. test was standardized using 1:320 dilution smooth lipopolysaccharide (sLPS) antigen from ...

Brucellosis in humans is a zoonosis of greatly varied clinical image. It occurs on all inhabited continents. The course of the disease may be acute, sub-acute or chronic. The etiologic factors of brucellosis are small, aerobic Gram-negative rods of the genus Brucella, which currently contains ten species: B. abortus, B. suis, B. ovis, B. melitensis, B. canis, B. neotomae, B. pinnipedialis, B. c...

Introduction: Brucellar epididymo-orchitis (BEO) is the most common variant of genitourinary brucellosis and is encountered in 2 to 20% of patients with brucellosis. This report details clinical and laboratory features, diagnostic evaluations, treatment modalities, and final outcomes for 14 patients with brucellar epididymo-orchitis. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we describ...
