Brucellosis
Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by the Brucella species. It is primarily a zoonotic disease, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans. The infection is commonly found in domesticated animals such as cattle, goats, sheep, and dogs. Humans usually contract brucellosis through direct contact with infected animals or by consuming unpasteurized dairy products.

The symptoms of brucellosis can vary but commonly include fever, fatigue, sweats, headaches, muscle pain, and joint pain. In severe cases, it can lead to complications affecting the reproductive system, heart, liver, and other organs. Brucellosis is diagnosed through blood tests, samples of body fluids, or by isolating the bacteria from culture.
Brucellosis can be difficult to treat, and early detection is important for effective management. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment and may need to be taken for several weeks or even months. Prevention involves practicing good hygiene, avoiding contact with infected animals or their products, and consuming only properly cooked or pasteurized food items.
