The incidence of human brucellosis is not documented in Rwanda despite several reports on the disease in cattle.
Because brucellosis has been associated with abortion, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of positive serology in women presenting with abortion and/or stillbirth.
The study was done in Huye District, in the Southern Province of Rwanda, and the patients were recruited from both the University Teaching Hospital of Butare (CHUB) and Kabutare District Hospital.
Serum samples were collected and the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) was performed on each sample.
A questionnaire was also used to investigate potential contacts with animals and/or consumption of raw milk.
A total of 60 women were recruited and 15 (i.e., 25%) were Brucella seropositive.
The questionnaire showed that those with seropositivity either were in contact with domestic animals (cattle, goat, or sheep) or were consuming raw cow’s milk.
Human brucellosis appears to be of public health importance in Rwanda and more attention should be drawn on the disease.
The current study provides a basis for larger studies to establish the incidence of human brucellosis in Rwanda.
More mechanistic studies will also demonstrate the pathogenicity of Brucella in human placentas.
