Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is overlooked and misdiagnosed due to its protean and varied laboratory facilities. The disease causes diminution of man power and is of great public health importance. We present a case series and retrospective analysis of ve children admitted to tertiary care centre of Gujarat who were diagnosed as having Brucellosis. Their epidemiological characteristics, clinical features, contact history, laboratory parameters were studied. This report creates awareness regarding Brucellosis and its signicance in approaching to diagnosis in a case of Pyrexia of Unknown Origin (PUO).
