Brucellosis is a disease which has rarely been seen in the UK since the pasteurization of milk. It often presents as a pyrexia of unknown origin and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. A case report is presented where the diagnosis was initially thought to be tuberculosis but months later was found to be brucellosis. The article then presents a summary of brucellosis and its management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
