Brucellosis is an endemic bacterial zoonotic disease in developing countries; that is a serious public health problem in Iran. Brucellosis is a life-threatening multi-system disease in human with different clinical manifestations, complications and relapse. The incidence of brucellosis in Hamadan province, west of Iran is high. In addition, there is few reliable and population-based studies regarding relapse and complications of brucellosis in developing countries, therefore establishment of the registry system in areas with adequate occurrence of cases is needed to better understand the predictors of brucellosis relapse and complications and management of the disease. Detecting occurrence of relapse and complications over time and by geographical area provide information for further investigations and identification of health system deficiencies in the management of patients.
布鲁氏菌病是发展中国家流行的细菌性人畜共患病，也是伊朗严重的公共卫生问题。布鲁氏菌病是一种危及生命的多系统疾病，在人类中表现出不同的临床表现、并发症和复发。伊朗西部哈马丹省的布鲁氏菌病发病率很高。此外，在发展中国家，关于布鲁氏菌病复发和并发症的可靠的、基于人群的研究较少，因此需要在病例发生频率足够高的地区建立登记系统，以更好地了解布鲁氏菌病复发和并发症的预测因素以及疾病的管理。随着时间的推移和按地理区域检测复发和并发症的发生，为进一步调查和确定患者管理中卫生系统的缺陷提供了信息。
