[Brucellosis in childhood: therapeutic contribution].
We report a case of Brucellosis in a seven year old child satisfactorily cleared up after therapy with ceftriaxone. We analyze the advantages of the drug in pediatric practice compared with usual therapy. The review of some clinical trials about use of the drug in treatment of Brucellosis is not conclusive. The use of the drug with higher dosages than the ones used by mentioned Authors is suggested.
