DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT of BRUCELLOSIS (Undulant Fever)
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BRUCELLOSIS (Undulant Fever) CHARLES L. HARTSOCK, M.D. Not only the treatment but also the diagnosis of undulant fever are far from being satisfactory, although many types of therapy are being tried and critically evaluated. Because of the tremendous scope of the disease, frequent discussions and reappraisals of our ideas about bru- cellosis will be absolutely essential for some time. Some physicians more or less disregard brucellosis and even scoff at the chronic phase of this new intruder in the realm of human disease. Others are overenthusi- astic and attempt to explain many vague and indefinite problems upon the basis of chronic brucellosis without sufficient evidence. Still other physicians have lost their original enthusiasm and have reverted to the first viewpoint, probably because of the great difficulty in coping with the caprices and vagaries of this disease and the marked uncertainties in diagnosis and treatment. Even though this disease is extremely protean and remarkably bizarre in its manifestations, it is a disease of known causative organism to which the generic term of brucella has been given. The original infection in man was traced to the drinking of goat's milk on the Island of Malta, and for many years this disease was known as Malta fever. Because of the undulating character of the fever with a tendency for remissions and recurrences, it was later called undulant fever which proved to be a very poor description of the febrile reaction in many instances. Brucellosis is the more specific term derived from the organism causing the disease. Three strains of the brucella organism have been isolated and named for their respective hosts: b. -

FAQ REGARDING DISEASE REPORTING in MONTANA | Rev
Disease Reporting in Montana: Frequently Asked Questions Title 50 Section 1-202 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) outlines the general powers and duties of the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services (DPHHS). The three primary duties that serve as the foundation for disease reporting in Montana state that DPHHS shall: • Study conditions affecting the citizens of the state by making use of birth, death, and sickness records; • Make investigations, disseminate information, and make recommendations for control of diseases and improvement of public health to persons, groups, or the public; and • Adopt and enforce rules regarding the reporting and control of communicable diseases. In order to meet these obligations, DPHHS works closely with local health jurisdictions to collect and analyze disease reports. Although anyone may report a case of communicable disease, such reports are submitted primarily by health care providers and laboratories. The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM), Title 37, Chapter 114, Communicable Disease Control, outline the rules for communicable disease control, including disease reporting. Communicable disease surveillance is defined as the ongoing collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of disease data. Accurate and timely disease reporting is the foundation of an effective surveillance program, which is key to applying effective public health interventions to mitigate the impact of disease. What diseases are reportable? A list of reportable diseases is maintained in ARM 37.114.203. The list continues to evolve and is consistent with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) list of Nationally Notifiable Diseases maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition to the named conditions on the list, any occurrence of a case/cases of communicable disease in the 20th edition of the Control of Communicable Diseases Manual with a frequency in excess of normal expectancy or any unusual incident of unexplained illness or death in a human or animal should be reported.
