Brucellosis is an ancient disease with host-specific evolutionary mechanisms that allow itto hide from or manipulate cellular immunity and achieve intracellular persistence. The disease yields low fatality rates but can cause substantial disabilities. Zoonotic brucellosis remains widespread and neglected in many areas despite notable advances in science, technology, and management in the 19th a...

Brucellosis is an important public-health problem in Turkey. Children may constitute 20 to 30% of all brucellosis cases in the world, especially in the endemic regions. Data on the seroprevalence of brucellosis in childhood are very limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of brucellosis among a child population. One thousand one hundred and ten subjects were included in ...

Background: Brucellosis is a neglected zoonotic disease affecting humans and animals. Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of brucellosis in patients with joint pain. Methods: A total 200 participants aged from 7 86 years were involved this study. Blood samples collected all for two years, September 2019 2021, screened Brucella using anti-brucella IgM ELISA IgG antibodies...

Brucellosis is a worldwide contagious and zoonotic bacterial infectious disease caused by Brucella. The aim of present study was therefore to establish the seroprevalence of brucellosis in Arapai, Soroti district, Uganda. A structured questionnaire administered to 72 farmers captured farmer characteristics, breed of animals reared, occurrence of abortion, risk of brucellosis infection to herd o...

Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis affecting livestock and human beings. The human disease lacks pathognomonic symptoms and laboratory tests are essential for its diagnosis. However, most tests are difficult to implement in the areas and countries were brucellosis is endemic. Here, we compared the simple and cheap Rose Bengal Test (RBT) with serum agglutination, Coombs, competitive ELI...

It has been reported that approximately two thirds of patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have had a prodromal illness within a four-week period preceding the onset of GBS. This prodromal illness is most commonly an upper respiratory tract illness or, secondly, gastroenteritis. However, specific infectious agents, such as mycoplasma, cytomegalovirus, Ebstein-Barr virus, vaccin...

Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a fatal zoonotic viral disease caused by infection with a tick-borne virus of the genus Nairovirus. In this study, we investigated the incidence of brucellosis in patients diagnosed with CCHF. Methods Overall, 169 patients hospitalized with an initial diagnosis of CCHF were included in 2011 in Tokat/Turkey. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies...

Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection. typically presents with fever, weakness, night sweats, and arthralgias. Symptoms associated Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection Brucella spp. are similar to one another, which may lead delayed diagnosis of the latter condition. There no previous reports brucellosis in patient previously diagnosed COVID-19. We present here case 20-year-old ma...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections globally. Lack of knowledge about brucellosis may affect the health-seeking behavior of patients, thus leading to sustained transmission in these communities. Our study assessed knowledge and perceptions of brucellosis among pastoral communities adjacent to Lake Mburo National Park (LMNP), Kiruhura District, Uganda. METHODS ...

Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide. The epidemiological situation brucellosis in Russian Federation characterized as unfavorable. remains a problem regions with developed animal husbandry. variety clinical manifestations and absence specific symptoms make its diagnosis challenging. case presented this paper illustrates delayed 10-year-old patient presenting fever ...
