Abstract:Brucellosis, known as Malta fever or Mediterranean fever, is a zoonosis causing by Brucella. Direct or indirect contact with infected animals or their product are the most important transmission route. Clinical manifestation of Brucellosis is varied and nonspecific. Therefore, the clinic diagnosis of this disease remains a vast challenge. Clinical symptoms include fever, sweating, general discomfort, headache, muscle and joint pain, back pain and anorexia. Brucellosis complications may be related to any tissue or organ, articulations involved are the most frequent complications of brucellosis, others complications including genitourinary system, central nervous system, cardio cerebral vascular system, digestive system and hematopoietic system,et al. Brucellosis common complication and treatment advance were summarized in this paper, to improve efficiency the diagnosis and treatment of complications of Brucellosis.
