The Problem of Diagnosis in Occupational Brucellosis

180 In the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law, occupational disease refer to the temporary or permanent disease, physical or mental handicapped status, caused by a reason reiterated due to the quality of the work made or worked by the insurance holder or by the working conditions.1 Although it is possible to protect employees from occupational diseases, they are still an important cause of morbidity and mortality today.2 In cases where protection from occupational diseases is unsuccessful, early detection of the disease is required. The aim of the determination of occupational diseases is to diagnose and treat the sick employee early, to minimize sequelae, to provide the necessary rehabilitation, to prevent other employees from affecting the disease and to ensure that employees benefit from legal rights.3
