Abstract

Brucella species are small, nonmotile, gram-negative coccobacilli. The species that infect humans are Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis, Brucella suis, and, rarely, Brucella canis Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease. Humans are accidental hosts, contracting the disease by direct contact with infected animals secretions or by ingesting unpasteurized milk or milk products. We reviewed that the patient had a case of acute human brucellosis caused by B melitensis infection.
