Brucellosis, a bacterial zoonosis, is transmitted directly or indirectly from infected animals (mainly domesticated ruminants and pigs) to humans. People are generally susceptible to brucella, which is mainly transmitted by direct contact, digestive tract and respiratory tract. Since brucella can be discharged from various secretions and feces after human infection, sexual transmission has become a potential mode of transmission. We report a case of highly suspected sexually transmitted brucellosis infection patient, which was discharged after treatment with etimicin + minocycline.
