Abstract

Brusellozis bir çok organ ve dokuları tutabilen bir zoonotik enfeksiyondur. İskelet sistemi bruselloziste en sık etkilenen bölge olup, sıklığı % 2 ile % 53 arasında değişmektedir. Multifokal spinal tutulum nadirdir. Bu yazıda torakal ve lomber bölgeyi aynı anda tutan brusella spondilodiskit olgusunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Brusellaya bağlı multifokal spinal infeksiyonun tanısı MRI ile konulabilir. Özellikle endemik bölgelerde brusellozis tanısında en az iki adet serolojik test yöntemi kullanılması gerekmektedir. Endemik bölgelerde uzun zaman devam eden sırt ve bel ağrısı şikayeti olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka brusellozis düşünülmelidir

Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonosis that can affect many organs or systems. Musculoskeletal system is the most commonly affected site in brucellosis and the frequency of musculoskeletal system involvement varies between 2% and 53%. Multifocal spinal involvement is rare. Here, it was aimed to present our case with brucellar spondylodiscitis involving the thoracic and lumbar regions simultaneously. MRI is a useful imaging method in the diagnosis of multifocal spinal infection caused by brucellosis. Especially in endemic regions, at least two serological tests should be used in the diagnosis of brucellosis. Brucellosis should be absolutely kept in mind for the differential diagnosis of the elderly patients with complaint of longstanding thoracic and back pain in the regions where brucellosis is endemic.

Key words: Brucellosis, spinal infection, spondylodiscitis.
