Abstract
Brucellosis is the most common worldwide zoonosis which continues to remain a significant worldwide health problem and burden. Transmission usually occurs secondary to direct or indirect exposure to certain animals, but a major mode of transmission is the ingestion ofunpasteurized milk or milk products from infected animals. 'Ihe disease has a geographic distribution including the Mediterranean basin and Arabian Peninsula, India, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. However, cases are seen in the United States in international travelers or due to ingestion ofusuallyimported, unpasteurized dairyproducts. Systemic infection with Brucella species can affect anyorgan, although focal forms ofbrucellosis do exist. We present a case of brucellar vertebral osteomyelitis.
期刊介绍：
The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
