Overview
There is no specific diagnostic criteria for Brucellosis, Diagnosis is based on history of potential exposure, presentation consistent with the disease, supporting laboratory findings.
Diagnostic Criteria
There is no specific diagnostic criteria for Brucellosis, Diagnosis is based on:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
- History of potential exposure
- Presentation consistent with the disease
- Supporting laboratory findings
| Diagnosis of brucellosis | |
|---|---|
| History of potential exposure |
|
| presentation consistent with the disease | An illness characterized by acute or insidious onset of fever and one or more of the following:
|
| Supporting laboratory findings | Definitive:
Presumptive:
Other non-specific findings may include:
|
Relapse | |
