El bileğinin brusella septik artriti

Bruselloz, dünyanın birçok yerinde endemik olarak görülen, farklı klinik bulgularla ortaya çıkan, zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Bruselloz sistemik tutulumunun yanı sıra kas iskelet sistemini de olumsuz yönde etkileyerek ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada elli dört yaşındaki bir erkek olgunun el bileğinde ortaya çıkan septik artritin sunumu yapılarak brusellozun endemik olduğu bölgelerde septik artrit etiyolojisi araştırılırken, brusellozun da bir komplikasyon olarak karşımıza çıkabileceğini ve yetersiz tedavisinin ciddi morbiditeye yol açabileceğini vurgulamaktır.

Brucella septic arthritis of the wrist

Brucella is a zoonotic disease which is endemic in many parts of the world and presents with different clinic findings. The Brucella disease may lead to serious complications by influencing the skeletal muscle system negatively, as well as its systemic involvement. In this study, by presenting a septic arthritis which appeared on the carpus of a 54-year old man, we investigated the etiology of septic arthritis in regions where brucellosis was endemic and emphasized that brucellosis may appear as a complication and insufficient therapy would result in serious morbidity.
