Abstract:
We report two cases of brucellosis in members of a hunt club, both of whom had killed and dressed wild boars. Serologic studies usually suffice for screening patients with suspected or possible brucellosis; however, and as illustrated by our index case, one should ask the laboratory to dilute serum out beyond the customary 1:160 titer if results are negative yet the clinical suspicion high. Hunters should be advised to wear gloves prior to dressing wild mammals.
