Is it serious if a person is infected with sheep brucellosis?

Brucellosis in sheep generally refers to brucellosis. The severity of human brucellosis infection depends on whether prompt treatment is received. Analysis is as follows:

1. Not severe

Brucellosis is a zoonotic systemic infectious disease in clinical practice, usually transmitted through direct contact with skin or mucous membranes, or via the digestive tract and respiratory tract. If patients actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and maintain good personal and dietary hygiene, the condition is generally not severe.

2. Severe

If not treated promptly, the disease is usually serious and may lead to complications such as aplastic anemia, myelitis, endocarditis, or severe neurological complications, which could even be life-threatening.

It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and follow their doctor's instructions to choose appropriate treatment methods. Maintaining healthy daily habits can also help reduce the risk of infection.
