| Abstract |
A survey of the occurrence of symptoms attributed to chronic brucellosis was carried out by questionnaire in 4 different occupational groups (veterinary surgeons in private practice, veterinary surgeons of the Ministry of Agriculture, general medical practitioners working in rural areas, forestry workers) in Northern Ireland. The lack of specificity of the symptoms, their occurence in normal persons, and the finding of high serologica brucella antibody titres in asymptomatic persons who are exposed to brucella infection, emphasise the need for caution in overdiagnosis. |
