Abstract
An 18-year-old woman developed fever, nausea, and vomiting after travelling to Punjab, India. Blood cultures isolated Brucella melitensis, linked to unpasteurized milk consumption. This case highlights the importance of pre-travel counselling, early diagnosis, and awareness of regional epidemiology to guide empirical therapy and prevention strategies in returning travellers.
