Brucellosis (also known as Mediterranean Fever) is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria of the genus Brucella. This bacteria can be transmitted to humans through contact with farm animals, consumption of certain dairy products, and other ways as well. The signs and symptoms of brucellosis occur after an extended incubation period (often times weeks to months), and signs and symptoms are often non-specific. Diagnosis can occur via culturing the bacteria or through measuring antibodies, and treatment depends on the patient population, with certain antibiotics being used for certain patient groups.
