Neonatal brucellosis can present with jaundice, sepsis, or respiratory distress in infants. Prompt antibiotic treatment leads to recovery, with mothers often having Brucella infections during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that can affect neonates.
  • Maternal Brucella infection during pregnancy poses a risk for vertical transmission.

Observation:

  • Three cases of neonatal brucellosis are presented.
  • Clinical manifestations included hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis-like illness, and respiratory distress in premature infants.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed by positive blood cultures and elevated Brucella antibody titers.
  • All neonates responded well to antibiotic therapy, with negative blood cultures and low antibody titers post-treatment.

Implications:

  • This study highlights the diverse presentations of neonatal brucellosis.
