Article Synopsis
- Human brucellosis is a significant public health issue in China, becoming increasingly associated with atypical symptoms like fever of unknown origin (FUO), leading to higher rates of misdiagnosis.*
-
- A study of 35 brucellosis patients revealed that a majority were male, had exposure to livestock, and many were hospitalized due to FUO, which was common in patients with a known epidemiological history.*
-
- The findings suggest that the diagnosis of brucellosis often gets overlooked, especially in FUO cases, highlighting the need for thorough investigations into patients' exposure history and improved diagnostic methods.*
