Abstract

Brucellosis is a rarely encountered zoonosis in Poland caused by Brucella species. Most of cases are imported from endemic areas. We reported 2 cases (married couple) oftypial brucellosis in patient returning from Azerbaijan, where both of them drunk non-pasteurized goat milk. The diagnosis was established by serological tests. Brucellosis should be suspected in patients with unexplained fever, especially in travelers to countries where non-pasteurized dairy products are common.
