A Case Of Septic Arthritis Due To Brucellosis

Year 2015, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 303 - 305, 30.08.2015

Abstract

Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease in many countries including Turkey. Brucellosis is characterized
by a variety of symptoms because it can affect many organs in the body. For these reasons, the diagnosis can
be challenging. Here we presented a case of septic arthritis due to brucellosis who was admitted to
orthopaedics clinics with only swelling and pain in the left knee. There were no more complaints.

Abstract

Bruselloz Türkiye'nin de dahil olduğu birçok ülkede yaygın zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Vücuttaki birçok organı
etkileyebildiği için çok çeşitli semptomlarla kendini gösterebilir. Bu nedenle brusellanın tanısında zorluklar
yaşanabilmektedir. Biz burada sadece sol dizde ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti ile ortopedi kliniğine başvuran
bruselloza bağlı bir septik artrit vakası sunduk.
