Abstract :

 Human ucellosis is usually associated with occupational or domestic exposure to infected animals or their products. Farmers, shepherds, goatherds, veterinarians, and employees in slaughterhouses and meat–processing plants in endemic areas are occupationally exposed to infection.1 Family members of individuals involved in animal husbandry may be at risk.5 Although it is often difficult to differentiate food–borne infection from environmental contamination under these circumstances. Laboratory workers who handle cultures or infected samples are also at risk.3 Travelers and urban residents usually acquire the infection through consumption of contaminated foods. In countries that have eradicated the disease, new cases are most commonly acquired aoad. Dairy products, especially soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk, and ice cream, are the most frequently implicated sources of infection; raw meat and bone marrow may be sources under exceptional circumstances. Infections acquired through cosmetic treatments using materials of fetal origin have been reported. Person–to–person transmission is extremely rare, as is transfer of infection by blood or tissue donation.2 Although ucellosis is a chronic intracellular infection, there is no evidence for increased prevalence or severity among individuals with HIV infection or with immunodeficiency or immunosuppression of other etiologies. Here we present one such case of ucellosis.Brucellosis is commonly undiagnosed disease.4
