A 58-year-old woman with prolonged febrile illness was found to have brucellosis caused by Brucella canis, presumably acquired through contact with infected dogs. After initial laboratory tests failed to yield a diagnosis, the disease was confirmed by the Brucella agglutination test. A combination of tetracycline and streptomycin therapy was begun, and the illness resolved. B canis, a recently recognized cause of human brucellosis, must now be considered in patients with fever of unknown origin. With adequate medical therapy, rapid and complete recovery can be expected.
一名患有长期发热疾病的58岁女性被发现感染了犬种布鲁氏菌引起的布鲁氏菌病，推测是通过接触受感染的狗而感染的。最初的实验室检查未能确诊，后来通过布鲁氏菌凝集试验确诊了该疾病。开始采用四环素和链霉素联合治疗，疾病得到缓解。犬种布鲁氏菌是最近才被认识到的人类布鲁氏菌病病因，现在对于不明原因发热的患者必须考虑这一病因。经过适当的药物治疗，可以预期快速且完全康复。
