Abstract:

A summary of findings in 5 previously reported cases of Brucellosis from Indonesia is given. Only one of the five patients was a child. Rodenwaldt and Cohen 1930 and Boon van Ostade 1938 concluded that infection in their cases occurred via ingestion of raw goat or cow milk. The present patient, only one year old, could not have been so infected since the mother stated she and always fed him imported spray-dried full cream milk powder.
