Three cases of brucellosis occurred, two acute cases and one chronic, all of which likely resulted from the ingestion of fresh cheese containing Brucella melitensis. A history of patients with illness suggestive of brucellosis should include details about food ingested recently in addition to the usual questions about travel and occupation. As the US domestic-animal disease comes under better control, and travel to Mexico, Spain, and Italy increases, it seems likely that human disease caused by B melitensis will become relatively more common.
出现了3例布鲁氏菌病病例，其中2例为急性，1例为慢性，所有病例可能都是由于摄入了含有羊种布鲁氏菌的新鲜奶酪所致。对于有布鲁氏菌病疑似症状的患者，其病史除了包括有关旅行和职业的常见问题外，还应包括近期摄入食物的详细信息。随着美国国内动物疾病得到更好的控制，以及前往墨西哥、西班牙和意大利的旅行增加，由羊种布鲁氏菌引起的人类疾病似乎可能会相对变得更加常见。
