First Case of Human Brucella canis Infection in the Netherlands

Eva Kolwijck et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

A patient was diagnosed with Brucella canis following exposure to infected dogs in her breeding facility. Transboundary spread of B. canis through (illegal) import of infected dogs to non-endemic countries in Europe suggest that B. canis infection should be considered in European patients with occupational exposure to dogs.

Keywords: Brucella canis; Europe; brucellosis; canine; human.
