10. Treatment
As it is caused by a bacterium, treatment for Brucellosis generally involves taking antibiotics. You will usually be asked to take antibiotics for at least 6 weeks. In some cases, it might even be months before the symptoms disappear altogether. There is also the chance that the disease will reappear in some cases. Treatment tends to involve methods to try and prevent a relapse from taking place.
In addition to treating the underlying cause, the patient will also tend to be treated for their symptoms. This is especially the cases in examples of chronic Brucellosis where the patient is experiencing more serious and potentially dangerous symptoms.
