Brucellosis in pregnancy: a case report
When evaluating patients, it is necessary to obtain a social history including animal exposures to rule in or rule out zoonotic infections such as brucellosis. It is important to establish a suspected brucellosis infection in pregnancy and begin antibiotic treatment as soon as possible to prevent maternal and fetal complications. The treatment regimen we administered was an effective strategy, particularly for pregnancy, when typical treatments are contraindicated.
