Hallo Michael,
Thanks for your comments on the subject of brucellosis. As I have
said, I did (and do) indeed wellcome inputs generated by the
brucellosis case described by Jennifer.
I do believe that a newsgroup like Bionet Microbiology is a suitable
forum for discussions of this kind. And I believe there are more cases
of brucellosis "out there", where the clinical picture has not been
correctly interpreted. Information on difficulties and problems of
this interpretation of the clinical situation of brucellosis as well
as the bacteriological diagnosis of the micro-organism of Brucella,
ought to be valuable for readers of this newsgroup. Communication via
a newsgroup is direct and hopingly somewhat imperative; a discussion
of this kind may generate ideas and thoughts with a great potential of
provoking results dealing with the index-subject for the discussion
and for mirror-situations of this subject.
Brucellosis is a world-wide probelm. Much is written on brucellosis,
but knowledge on brucellosis tends to be on expert-basis, and the
awareness of Brucella and brucellosis ought to be more widely spread,
because the practical dealing of this clinical diagnosis is often
located in the periphery of the medical sphere.
