Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide. Although deer are reportedly infected by spp., deer-associated brucellosis cases have been rare. In this study, two patients in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, were diagnosed with brucellosis. They have contacted a sick sika deer before onset which was bought from another province, but have no contact with other infection sources. Molecular genotyping indicated that both were infected with . This might be the first human cases caused by deer-associated strains despite the frequent reports of in deer. The role of deer in the transmission of should be taken into consideration.
布鲁氏菌病是全球最常见的人畜共患病之一。尽管据报道鹿可感染布鲁氏菌属，但与鹿相关的布鲁氏菌病病例却很罕见。在本研究中，中国东北黑龙江省的两名患者被诊断为布鲁氏菌病。他们在发病前接触过从另一个省份购买的患病梅花鹿，但未接触过其他传染源。分子基因分型表明两人均感染了布鲁氏菌。尽管鹿中布鲁氏菌感染报告频繁，但这可能是首例由与鹿相关的布鲁氏菌菌株引起的人类病例。应考虑鹿在布鲁氏菌传播中的作用。
