Suggest Treatment For Persistent Brucellosis

I have brucelosis for a year and a half now. Received therapy once ( lasted 45 days, constisted of Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline) . Showed no results, my titer has been the same ever since. I have no symptoms of the illness but it keeps showing up on my blood tests and it s always 1:1320. Any advice?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Ask your physician for a prescription to add TMP/SMX+Rifampin combination therapy combined with Dexamethasone, and stop taking Doxycycline if not working anymore for you.


Follow-up is necessary to see the effectiveness of the treatment. I suggest you for the same.

Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime & I will get back to you in no time. Please give a positive feedback.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
