Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease caused by Brucella organisms that primarily infect livestock such as goats, sheep and cows. Humans can contract brucellosis through direct contact with infected animals or consumption of infected, unpasteurized dairy products. A 1997 survey in Saudi Arabia found a 15% seroprevalence of brucellosis, with higher rates among rural populations, older individuals, and people in high-risk occupations. Brucellosis causes non-specific symptoms like fever and malaise but can also lead to complications affecting the osteoarticular, reproductive or central nervous systems if untreated. Relapse within the first year is possible if initial treatment is inadequate
