Abstract

Brucellosis is a systemic infection with multiple presentations. In spite of its oral mode of transmission and gastrointestinal pathogenesis, systemic symptoms are usually more prominent than gastrointestinal ones. Acute brucellosis presenting as gastroenteritis is rare in adults and could be the only manifestation of the disease. We report a case of gastroenteritis caused by Brucella species.

What Your Colleagues Say About Libertas Academica

Drug Target Insight offers a rapid scientific evaluation of submitted manuscripts. The editorial staff is extremely helpful in the guidance through the process. By recruitment of several references, the review process has the chance to be more fair and objective compared with when only a single referee is used. I can strongly recommend to publish research articles in the journal.
