“…3 Brucellosis is a zoonosis that generally causes systemic infection and affects osteoarticular tissue in 10% to 85% of patients. 4,5 Brucellar infection usually affects the large joints or sacroiliac joints causing spondylitis, tenosynovitis, or osteomyelitis. Nonetheless, adequate antibiotic treatment can control the disease.…”

“…Osteoarticular involvement, the most common complication, can develop in almost half of the patients. While sacroiliitis, spondylodiscitis, and peripheral arthritis are also common, sternoclavicular joint involvement is a rare entity (1)(2)(3)(4). Genitourinary complications are reported at a rate of 5% to 10%, and epididymoorchitis is the most common genitourinary complication.…”

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.

“…The death of animal may also occur as a result of acute metritis, followed by retained fetal membranes (Radostitis et al, 2000). In humans, bone and joint involvement is the most frequent complication of brucellosis (Mousa et al, 1987). Besides affecting the healthy life in humans, brucellosis causes considerable financial burden of the family like increased cost of hospital treatment, cost of drugs, patient out-of pocket treatment expenses, loss of work or income loss due to illness, and Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) burden.…”

Brucellosis is considered as one of the major zoonotic infections worldwide. However, there is paucity of studies on knowledge, attitude and practice level of high risk groups like veterinarians in India. This study attempted to address this gap by conducting cross-sectional survey in four states of India (Assam, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab states). The data was collected from 160 veterinarians through the self-administered pre-tested questionnaire. There exist wide differences in knowledge level on brucellosis among veterinarians across the surveyed states. In all the studied states less than 12% of the veterinarians were fully aware on the nuances of Brucellosis Control Programme implemented in India indicating the need for appropriate intervention to achieve the intended targets. The knowledge, attitude and practice Index of majority of the veterinarians ranged between 74 to 85, 58 to 71 and 86 to 100, respectively. The knowledge on brucellosis is significantly correlated with the prevalence in the states (except West Bengal) indicating veterinarians in higher brucellosis prevalence states have better knowledge. There exists significant difference across the states in knowledge and attitude level on brucellosis indicating the need of imparting appropriate training to upgrade knowledge and to build positive attitude among veterinarians.
