    Brucella thyroiditis represents an extremely rare focal form of brucellosis. In this case report we describe a 55 years old male, diagnosed with brucellosis and peripheral arthritis with subsequent development of acute thyroiditis. The symptoms duration consistent with brucellosis started two weeks before establishing the diagnosis. Only a day after diagnosis and initiation of antibrucellar treatment, acute non-suppurative thyroiditis suddenly manifested. Thyroiditis was diagnosed with clinical inspection and confirmed by ultrasound investigation. With the appropriate antibrucellar treatment, complete cure of thyroid affection was reached in ten days and the patient remained well during the follow-up period of two and a half years. In conclusion, in brucellosis endemic regions brucellosis should be included in the diagnostic consideration in patients with acute non-suppurative thyroiditis. Early recognition and adequate treatment of brucella thyroiditis results in favorable outcome.</jats:p>

    The socio-ecology of zoonotic infections

    The resurgence of infectious diseases of zoonotic origin observed in recent years imposes a major morbidity/mortality burden worldwide, and also a major economic burden that extends beyond pure medical costs. The resurgence and epidemiology of zoonoses are complex and dynamic, being influenced by varying parameters that can roughly be categorized as human-related, pathogen-related, and climate/environment-related; however, there is significant interplay between these factors. Human-related factors include modern life trends such as ecotourism, increased exposure through hunting or pet owning, and culinary habits, industrialization sequelae such as farming/food chain intensification, globalization of trade, human intrusion into ecosystems and urbanization, significant alterations in political regimes, conflict with accompanying breakdown of public health and surveillance infrastructure, voluntary or involuntary immigration, loosening of border controls, and hierarchy issues in related decision-making, and scientific advances that allow easier detection of zoonotic infections and evolution of novel susceptible immunocompromised populations. Pathogen-related factors include alterations in ecosystems and biodiversity that influence local fauna synthesis, favouring expansion of disease hosts or vectors, pressure for virulence/resistance selection, and genomic variability. Climate/environment-related factors, either localized or extended, such as El Niño southern oscillation or global warming, may affect host-vector life cycles through varying mechanisms. Emerging issues needing clarification include the development of predictive models for the infectious disease impact of environmental projects, awareness of the risk imposed on immunocompromised populations, recognition of the chronicity burden for certain zoonoses, and the development of different evaluations of the overall stress imposed by a zoonotic infection on a household, and not strictly a person.

    Our study assesses the influence of illness duration before establishing the diagnosis of brucellosis and initiating therapy on patients' main clinical characteristics and outcome in an endemic area. The medical files of 297 patients with brucellosis were retrospectively analysed. They were divided into four groups according to illness duration before initiating therapy: <10 days; 11-30 days; 31-90 days; and >90 days. There were significant differences in the occurrences of fever (P = 0.019), focal forms (P = 0.026), spondylitis (P = 0.034) and therapeutic failures (P = 0.006) between the groups. Duration of >30 days before treatment initiation is responsible for more serious clinical presentation and outcome, whereas illness duration of >90 days further worsens the clinical progression in human brucellosis.

    Maternal, fetal, and neonatal complications of brucellosis in pregnant women are probably higher than those in the general population. This comparative study aimed to survey the mentioned complications in pregnant women with positive and negative Brucella serologic tests.

    Recommendations for Updating Fever and Inflammation of Unknown Origin From a Modified Delphi Consensus Panel

    Fever of unknown origin (FUO) and inflammation of unknown origin (IUO) are syndromes commonly used as medical diagnoses. Since the existing literature has a mixture of diagnostic approaches, developing consensus-based recommendations would be helpful for clinicians, researchers, and patients.
