      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, for the random distribution of the samples between the intervention and control groups, the web-based randomization method is used, and based on the size of the study sample, two groups with equal numbers of numbers are generated, after sorting the numbers of each group from small to Large, the groups are called group A and group B, and one group is randomly assigned to the intervention group and the other one to the control group. During the sampling, new patients with Brucellosis who meet the inclusion criteria are numbered in the order of entry and based on the mentioned grouping, each patient is randomly placed in group A or B, Blinding description: In this study, the researchers, the study participants and the analyst are not aware of the random allocation method until the completion of the statistical analysis. Before the start of sampling, the process of randomization is carried out by the secretary of the infectious disease clinic using the aforementioned method to randomly assign the samples in two groups A and B, as well as packaging the drugs in similar cans and numbering them. Due to the placement of drugs in similar cans and only put the patient's number on the cans, the patients in both intervention and control groups as well as the researchers are unaware of the contents of the cans, which contain probiotic capsules or placebo. Also, the data is delivered to the analyzer in the form of two groups A and B, and the analyzer is not aware of the intervention and control groups.</study_design>
