Abstract
SUMMARY We studied 50 children with brucellosis. Diagnoses were made from clinical pictures and agglutination titres. Fevers, sweating and chills were common complaints. Hepatosplenomegaly and arthritis were usual findings. Tetracycline is an effective drug for management of childhood brucellosis. Seven patients with relapse were treated successfully with combination of tetracycline and co-trimoxazole.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
