Abstract:
The incidence of human brucellosis is on the rise worldwide. The disease can affect various systems. The clinical manifestations are complex and non-specific, and the diagnosis is difficult. Especially the clinicians in the non-epidemic areas have sporadic cases on the pest free areas. Lack of experience in diagnosis and treatment leads to misdiagnosis and mistreatment, which affects prognosis. This article reports on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and treatment of a patient with unexplained fever and brucellosis in our department in June 2019. Raise the attention of clinicians in non-epidemic areas to the disease and enhance people's awareness of protection in non-epidemic areas.
