“…Children were also hospitalized for a longer duration. These hospitalization rates were higher than in previous reports, including studies from Israel, 1,2,14 and can be related to the increased concerns about complications in the setting of an epidemic and to the well-established superiority of aminoglycoside-containing regimens (given intravenously in hospitals to avoid repeated intramuscular injections) in decreasing relapse. Higher rates of osteoarticular manifestations in children may also account for longer hospitalizations.…”

However, over 90% of children were admitted as opposed to 64% of adults.…”

“…Doğu Anadolu bölgesi, hastalığın Güneydoğu Anadolu ve İç Anadolu ile birlikte en sık görüldüğü böl-gelerden biridir (4). Rastlantısal bir konak olan insanlara hastalığın bulaşı, pastörize edilmemiş süt ve süt ürünlerinin tüketilmesi, enfekte hayvanlarla veya onların sekresyonlarıyla temas ya da inhalasyonu yoluyla, bazen de laboratuvar çalışanlarının mesleki kazaları sırasında olmaktadır (5). İnsanları enfekte eden brusella türleri B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis ve B. canis olsa da, en sık karşılaşılan tür B. melitensis'tir (6).…”
