brucellosis is an infectious disease with high incidence in iran. neurobrucellosis is a focal complication of brucellosis affecting both central and peripheral nervous system presenting with a varieties of signs and symptoms. the most reported manifestations are meningitis and meningoencephalitis. in this report, we will describe a case of a young woman affected by neurobrucellosis presenting w...

background brucellosis is a systemic infection with a various clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic infection to serious and fatal diseases. in endemic area, one-third of all cases of human brucellosis have been reported in children. objectives this study aimed to evaluate epidemiology, clinical presentation, and treatment outcome of brucellosis among children in zahedan city. patie...

although cellular immunity involving activated macrophage is important in resistance to brucella infections, serum factors and polymorphonuclears (pmns) play some role in the initial responses to brucella infections. in this research, we studied respiratory burst of pmns against opsonized yeast and opsonized inactivated brucella melitensis in chronic brucellosis patients and controls with no pr...

McDevitt, D. G. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 385-389. Symptomatology of chronic brucellosis. A survey of the occurrence of symptoms commonly attributed to chronic brucellosis was carried out by questionnaire in four different occupational groups in Northern Ireland-veterinary surgeons woiking in private practice, veterinary surgeons employed by the Ministry of Agriculture...

Chronic infections may have negative impacts on wildlife populations, yet their effects are difficult to detect in the absence of long-term population monitoring. Brucella abortus, the bacteria responsible for bovine brucellosis, causes chronic infections and abortions in wild and domestic ungulates, but its impact on population dynamics is not well understood. We report infection patterns and ...

Brucellosis is a chronic granulomatous zoonosis with protean manifestations. Cutaneous involvement in Brucellosis is a relatively rare phenomenon. We describe a case of Brucella melitensis infection presenting with erythema nodosum like skin lesions involving palms and soles in a 70 years old lady.

Eleven patients with brucellosis presented with neurological features closely simulating transient ischaemic attacks, cerebral infarction, acute confusional state, motor neuron disease, progressive multisystem degeneration, polyradiculoneuropathy, neuralgic amyotrophy, sciatica and cauda equina syndrome. Most patients improved quickly after adequate antibiotic treatment but chronic cases respon...

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...
