Sternoklaviküler Artritin Eşlik Ettiği Nörobruselloz: Olgu SunumuBrucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease. It may show several manifestations and involve several systems, such as cardiovascular, hematopoietic, skeletal, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems and the skin. Sternoclavicular arthritis and prostatitis caused by brucellosis are rare conditions, which have been reported previously as case presentations in the literature. In this article, we present a case of neurobrucellosis accompanied by sternoclavicular arthritis and prostatitis to highlight that the disease may manifest with several signs and symptoms with rare involvements.

“…Several serological tests (Rose Bengal, 2-Mercaptoethanol, Wright, Coombs Brucella, Complement fixation and ELISA test) are used for diagnosis of brucellosis [1]. Serological tests are important for both diagnosis and follow-up treatment.Rose Bengal test is traditionally used for rapid screening in many country.…”

Although brucellosis is the most common zoonosis all over the world, epididymoorchitis caused by Brucella species is a rarely seen infection. In this report, we present an adult case of epididymoorchitis caused by brucellosis. Patient complained about swollen and painful testicle. Patient had unilateral epididymoorchitis. Brucellosis was diagnosed serologically with lam agglutination test and Coombs Brucella test positivity (1/1280 titer). Patient was treated with rifampicin and doxycycline. In case, complete resolution was achieved with medical treatment and relapse did not occur. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients even at old age, presenting with epididymoorchitis in endemic areas.

“…Brucellosis is zoonotic disease and important public health problem worldwide, especially in Mediterranean countries (Doganay and Aygen, 2003;Gul and Khan, 2007). The causative agent of Brucellosis is a intracellular gram-negative bacteria belonging to genus Brucella: at this time in this genus are 11 species.…”

Detection of Brucella Genome by Real Time PCR from the Milk of Small Ruminants in the West Bank, Palestine

et al. 2016

Brucellosis is an endemic disease of the small ruminants in Palestine, posing a big threat to humans due to its zoonotic character. The rapid detection is the main goal in case of outbreak in order to implement the specific control policy. In the control of the brucellosis, the fast detection must offset the impairment of the "test and slaughter" policy caused by the financial burden. The aim of this study was to develop accurate and rapid molecular techniques to detect Brucella in sheep and goat milk. Recently, has been reported an outbreak in Qibbiya (small village of Ramallah district) counting 11 adult people and a 10 month old baby: subsequently, for serological testing, were collected serum samples from 350 animals from the 14 suspected flocks. The milk samples from 33 seropositive animals were check using an in-house PCR protocol for the Brucella genome identification. The results revealed the presence of Brucella spp genome in 78.8% (26/33) of the milk samples, while only 27.2% (9/33) of milk samples were positive at isolation on Brucella agar. All suspected and confirmed animals were quarantined and necessary measures were taken. Two weeks later, all sero-negative and real time PCR negative animals, were retested using Rose Bengal test and were negatives. Identification of Brucella spp by classical methods delay the implementation of control measures. The development of such a rapid and sensitive assay as real time PCR give a reliable tool to be use by authorities, in order to control the spread of Brucellosis.
