Chronic Brucellosis in Workers in a Meat-Packing Plant

Pages 511-512 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

We report an outbreak of brucellosis among 9 patients in a meat-packing plant. All patients developed chronic brucellosis characterized by severe chronic musculoskeletal pains, diffuse arthralgia, myalgia and recurrent bouts of fever, which we suggest may be related to a delay in antibiotic treatment. All the patients had a prolonged recovery requiring rehabilitation therapy.
