<bot>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Brucellosis is easily treatable and does not have frequent relapses. I do not know the treatment you have been prescribed, but the Chat Doctor.  Best regimen is consisting of doxycycline 100 mg orally bid for 6 weeks plus streptomycin 1g/day I'm for 2-3 weeks. If chronic case then vitamin can also be added. I suggest you get in touch with your treating doctor and discuss the suggested therapies. Thanks
