Brucella is a kind of bacteria that leads to the spread of an infectious disease known as 'Brucellosis.' The bacteria have many strains and are usually found in animals like cows, goats, pigs, camels, sheep, and dogs. Recently, the strain was also found in red fox and some marine animals.

Brucella passes on from animals to humans when they come in contact with a diseased animal or infected animal product. It may also spread from one person to another. Breastfeeding mothers infected with brucellosis may pass on the bacteria to their young infants. Additionally, sexual contact between an infected and non-infected person can also spread it.

The bacteria usually enter your body through:

  • A scratch or open cut on your skin
  • Contaminated air
  • Undercooked meat or unpasteurized milk laced with bacteria
  • Touching the body fluids or blood of an infected animal

The following four bacteria strains of brucella affect humans:

  • B. melitensis: This bacteria is primarily found in goats and sheep and causes a maximum number of brucellosis cases in humans. This is also the one that most commonly occurs in India.
  • B. Suis: This strain of bacteria is present in wild pigs.
  • B. Canis: This form of brucellosis infection spreads in dogs.
  • B. Abortus: This bacteria strain comes from cattle and is common worldwide.

You may have brucellosis if you experience the following symptoms:

  • Chills
  • Fever
  • Sweats
  • Lack of appetite
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Headache
  • Pain in muscles, joints, and back

Sometimes these symptoms may disappear for several weeks and then re-appear. People may also suffer from long-term brucellosis. Its symptoms may persist over the years, despite treatment. These symptoms might be:

  • Recurrent fevers
  • Fatigue
  • Joint inflammation or arthritis
  • Endocarditis, a condition characterised by inflammation of the inner lining of the heart's chambers
  • Sacroiliitis, a condition that causes arthritis in joints where the pelvis connects with the spine
  • Spondylitis, also known as the spinal bones’ arthritis

Since the symptoms of brucellosis are much like any regular flu, it's hard to distinguish between the two in the early stages. However, if your fever persists or you experience severe weakness or intense muscle aches, it's wise to seek medical attention.

Your doctor will likely to order a 'brucella IgM’ test. Getting this test will help:

  • Confirm if you are suffering from brucellosis 
  • Measure the count of brucella antibody (IgM) in your blood 
  • Determine the effectiveness of the ongoing treatment to ensure the treatment plan is on-track

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Frequently asked questions

Brucellosis is an infection that spreads from an infected animal to humans. It's passed on through direct contact or consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. However, it can also be passed from human to human via breastfeeding or sexual contact.
People infected with brucella will experience symptoms like sweats, fever, back pains, headache, and severe exhaustion and weakness. In extreme cases, an individual might undergo inflammation in the heart's lining. They may also experience a negative impact on their central nervous system.
The diagnosis of brucellosis is usually made through a brucella test by taking the blood or bone marrow to test the bacteria. The test can also be used to detect antibodies. Other methods of detecting complications caused by the bacteria are: X-rays Cerebrospinal fluid culture Computerized tomography (CT) Echocardiography Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Based on your diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe certain antibiotics. Your recovery will depend on how severe your infection as well as the timing of the treatment. So, it may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months to fully recover.
Your chances of contracting the infection are on the higher end if you: Work on a farm or in a slaughterhouse or meat-processing plant Consume unpasteurized dairy products from goats, cows, and any other infected animals Travel to areas infected with brucella Consume unpasteurized cheeses produced in high-risk regions
Brucellosis can attack any part of your body – heart, central nervous system, reproductive system, or liver. If the infections last for a long time, it may cause the following complications either throughout your body or in just one organ: Arthritis Endocarditis or inflammation present on the inner lining of the heart’s chamber Infection in the central nervous system Inflammation of the liver and spleen Infection and inflammation of the testicles
