Abstract

Abstract: Brucellosis is a rare zoonotic infection most commonly seen in parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Infections in Australia are uncommon and occur predominantly in Queensland and New South Wales due to the association with wild pig hunting activities. We describe a clustering of two cases of brucellosis in Victoria confirmed by genomic analysis but with no identified exposure. We detail the medical management, laboratory confirmation, and the public health investigation. While the source of the outbreak remains unclear, the two cases demonstrate a detailed and coordinated public health response to a rare infection with a unique geographical and temporal relationship.

2023年澳大利亚墨尔本的一例梅利氏布鲁氏菌聚集性病例:临床和公共卫生行动
摘要:布鲁氏菌病是一种罕见的人畜共患感染,最常见于北半球部分地区。由于与野猪狩猎活动有关,澳大利亚的感染并不常见,主要发生在昆士兰州和新南威尔士州。我们描述了维多利亚州的两个聚集性布鲁氏菌病病例,经基因组分析证实,但没有确定的暴露。我们详细介绍了医疗管理、实验室确认和公共卫生调查。虽然疫情的来源仍不清楚,但这两个病例表明,对一种具有独特地理和时间关系的罕见感染采取了详细和协调的公共卫生应对措施。
