Chronic Brucellosis is an infection disease, which is still of great clinical interest whether due to the difficulties of diagnosis involved or to the peculiar course of the illness. For this reasons, we have considered several cases of Chronic Brucellosis observed over a period of 10 years, which have presented particular problems of diagnosis. Furthermore, we have underlined the importance in the diagnosis, of intradermal reaction and the hemoreaction to the anamelitina injection. We propose therefore, to consider their diagnostic specificity by analyzing the results obtained.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs, while brucellosis is a zoonotic infection prevalent in endemic areas. Neurobrucellosis, a severe complication of brucellosis, can mimic or coexist with autoimmune conditions like SLE, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges and management strategies for such overlapping diseases.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that causes high rates of morbidity and mortality due to difficulties in diagnosis and inadequate treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic significance of presepsin, trigger receptor expressed on soluble myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) levels in patients with brucellosis. One hundred twenty-one brucellosis patients aged 18 or over and 39 healthy volunteers were included in this prospective study.

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus , predominantly affecting livestock and humans through contact or consumption. It is a major public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Symptoms can be mild to severe, making diagnosis difficult and often resulting in more chronic problems if those issues are not addressed.

Brucella is an intracellular parasitic pathogen that causes the worldwide zoonotic disease brucellosis. The type IV secretion system (T4SS) is utilized to secrete various effectors to help Brucella form Brucella-containing vacuoles within the cell and accomplish intracellular trafficking and replication. Brucella has fewer recognized effector proteins than other intracellular parasites in the Proteobacteria, indicating that Brucella may contain a large number of unidentified effector proteins.
