RESUMO
Bacterial zoonoses still represent a serious medical problem. One of the less frequent but severe zoonoses is brucellosis caused by the bacterium Brucella melitensis. The presented case report describes relapsing imported brucellosis in a young male. In addition to four serological tests, the diagnosis was confirmed by direct detection of the pathogen in blood culture. The isolate of Brucella melitensis was identified using the MALDI-TOF BioTyper method and subsequently also by PCR.
