How To Spot Brucellosis

Fever

Fever is commonly one of the initial symptoms of brucellosis that patients experience. It can cause profuse sweating for some individuals. It is possible for the patient’s temperature to reach 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be life-threatening. For up to five weeks, this symptom might persist and then go away for up to two weeks before returning. The febrile phase may be undulated, meaning it comes in waves over the course of several months, or in some cases, several years. Doctors will treat fever since if the patient’s temperature gets too high, it can be dangerous. In general, any temperature exceeding 102 degrees Fahrenheit requires attention.

Night Sweats

When a brucellosis patient is experiencing temperature elevations and fevers, night sweats can occur at the same time. This sweating can come in waves and may include an increase in the patient’s body temperature. The sweating can become so severe the sheets and pajamas a patient is wearing can become drenched, which can make it difficult to sleep and rest. The sweating may start to decrease as the patient’s temperature does. Unfortunately, there aren't any specific treatments that can alleviate sweating. Since this sweating is due to the infection and not the sleeping environment, many common remedies, such as light blankets and pajamas, are not effective.
