Sammanfattning

Brucellosis is a rare imported disease in Sweden. It is usually characterized by low-grade relapsing fever often associated with joint and muscular pain but severe complications occur. To avoid doctor's delay, the condition must be suspected in people who have visited endemic areas, in particular the Middle East. We here report of a family where all three members contracted brucellosis caused by B melitensis after a visit to Damascus, Syria, probably after intake of un-pasteurized white cheese.
