[Brucellosis in the Campania region].

The research describes the trend of brucellosis, in the period 1984-86, in the county of the "regione Campania". This trend, in contrast with the national one, is manifested as endemic, with frequent and localised outbreaks of epidemic levels. The research also describes, through the analysis of the illness registration forms of 762 cases of brucellosis in the period 1985-86, the seasonal trend, the ages of major risk of infection and the most frequent modes of infection. The paper concludes with suggestions for the effective prevention of brucellosis.
