Değişik klinik görünümler ile gelen iki brusella olgusu

Bruselloz ülkemiz için önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan zoonotik bir hastalık olup akciğer, deri, sinir sistemi, sindirim sistemi, genioüriner, kardiyovasküler ve hematolojik komplikasyonlar ile seyredebilmektedir. Burada ender görülen bir komplikasyon olan trombositopeni ile seyreden bir olgu ile enfektif endokardit kliniğinde gelen bir diğer olguyu sunarak brusella enfeksiyonlarının değişik klinik görünümler ile karşımıza çıkabileceğini ve ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gerektiğini vurgulamak istedik.

Two cases of brucellosis with different clinical manifestation

Brucellosis is an important zoonotic infection which is a problem of public health in our country. The infection can develop with pulnonary, cutaneous, neurological, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular and hematological complications. As brucellosis can mimic many diseases with different clinical manifestations, we emphasized that the disease should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis. Thus we presented two different cases of brucellosis with relatively uncommon complications one of which is thrombocytopenia and the other is infective endocarditis.
