【 摘 要 】

Brucellosis remains a major health problem in many geographical areas. A 28-year-old farmer was referred to our clinic with a 20-day history of fever, chills, night sweats, shoulder pain, and generalized myalgia and arthralgia. His history revealed that he was a farmer by profession and had consumed fresh white cheese using unpasteurized milk. Standard tube agglutination for Brucella was positive at a titer of 1/640. Brucella melitensis was isolated from blood culture after a seven-day incubation. At diagnosis, the patient showed radiographic abnormalities. He was treated with doxycycline 200 mg/day orally and streptomycin 1 g/day intramuscularly for three weeks. Treatment with doxycycline 200 mg/day orally was then maintained for a further six weeks. Complete resolution was achieved with medical treatment.
