American journal of perinatology(2007)
Abstract
Brucellosis represents a rare cause of neonatal infection. In this article we report a very unusual case of congenital infection due to BRUCELLA MELITENSIS in a term neonate presenting after birth with severe respiratory distress and radiological manifestations (lobar consolidation and diffuse interstitial infiltrations) compatible with pulmonary involvement. The neonate was successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampicin, and gentamicin.
