📋Overview
Brucellosis is a systemic infection caused by various species of Brucella bacteria, which primarily circulate among animals such as cattle, goats, and sheep. The infection is transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animal tissues or the ingestion of unpasteurized milk and cheese.
The condition can affect multiple organ systems and is recognized for its ability to manifest as either an acute illness or a persistent, long-term health issue. It is frequently identified in individuals with high levels of exposure to livestock or laboratory environments.
