The appearance of the focuses of disease in locomotor system took place only when the infectious process had a rather long period (septicometastatic course). The acute septic form of brucellosis (minor and middle-gravity cases) was characterized by subfebrile and febrile body temperature, slight intoxication without considerable worsening of health or incapacitation. The application of the modern means of treatment, including immunotherapy, resulted in a rapid coping of the acute course of illness, but the complete recovery was not attained.
