Neglected brucellosis in pediatric populations from non-endemic regions: Clinical manifestations and prediction of severe disease in Yunnan Province, China
This study indicated that pediatric brucellosis should not be neglected in non-endemic areas like Yunnan Province, China. Combining inflammatory markers with Random Forest models can effectively predict the risk of severe complications in pediatric brucellosis.
