How does brucellosis affect the body?

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Brucella genus, primarily affecting livestock but transmissible to humans. In the body, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including fever, sweats, fatigue, joint pain, and muscle aches, as the bacteria can invade various organs and systems. It often causes inflammatory responses, particularly affecting the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. If untreated, brucellosis can lead to chronic conditions and complications, including Arthritis and reproductive issues.
