Abstract
İnsan brusellozu hala dünyanın birçok bölgesinde ve ülkemizde endemik olarak görülmektedir. Ülkemizde özellikle Güneydoğu ve Doğu Anadoludaki bazı illerimizde yoğunluk dikkati çekmektedir. Hastalığın tanısı için kısa sürede sonuç almayı sağlayacak yeni yöntemlere ihtiyaç vardır. Kronik bruselloz ve komplikasyonlarının doğru tanısı, takibi ve tedavisi önemlidir. En önemlisi ise hastalığın insanlara bulaşmasında primer rolü olan süt ve süt ürünlerinin denetimi ve kalite kontrolü ile tüketicilere güvenli ve sağlıklı olarak ulaştırılmasıdır
