Conclusion
Rapid diagnosis and treatment of brucellosis is needed to decrease the morbidity in both children and adults. The use of protective clothing and disinfectants when working with livestock, along with pasteurization of milk, is very important for the prevention of transmission to humans (Bosilkovski, 2013a). Screening of family members should be completed with appropriate treatment even if they are asymptomatic (World Health Organization, 2006). Clinicians should have an index of suspicion when encountering febrile patients who have a travel history, an occupational exposure to body fluids or products of abortion of farm animals, or known consumption of unpasteurized dairy products.
