Abstract
A 9-year-old Inuit boy with brucellosis is presented. The most likely source of his infection was contaminated caribou meat. Brucella suis is enzootic in Canadian caribou herds and this case indicates that natives of the Arctic are a risk group for acquiring brucellosis through the ingestion of raw caribou meat.
摘要
本文报告了一名9岁因布鲁氏菌病就诊的因纽特男孩。其感染最可能的来源是受污染的驯鹿肉。猪布鲁氏菌在加拿大驯鹿群中呈地方流行性，该病例表明北极地区的原住民是通过食用生驯鹿肉感染布鲁氏菌病的风险群体。
