The article presents the experience of the interdepartmental commission for the diagnosis of brucellosis. A retrospective analysis of cases of brucellosis in the region revealed the prevalence of primary chronic and residual clinical and pathogenetic variants of the disease among the population with a household and occupational risk of infection. The role of a comprehensive assessment of epidemiological, epizootological, clinical and laboratory criteria for diagnosis is shown. The assessment of the significance of each of the criteria in the complex conclusion of the commission allows to determine the vectors of additional epidemiological investigation and clinical and laboratory examination.
