Its persistent presence in some endemic areas in our country, together with possibility of work exposure and in assence of very sensitive or specific diagnostic methods, represents a problem in medical practice. It's necessary for physicians and veterinaries take greater attention about this illness and the other anthropozoonosis, always actual in some areas and increasing for AIDS's sicks, representing other infection sources.
