Scintigraphic findings in osteoarticular brucellosis

Abstract: Brucellosis may affect the musculoskeletal system at any site. Bone scan is a useful method to detect osteoarticular involvement in cases of relapse and progression. Spine involvement has the widest range of scintigraphic findings. A knowledge of the location and distribution of osteoarticular involvement as revealed on the bone scan of patients with brucellosis may be valuable in patient treatment and management.

“…Articular involvement may be observed for either acute or chronic cases of human brucellosis (1,17,25) and may affect patients of any age (1,3,17,25). Arthritis is frequently polyarticular and migratory, affecting mainly the large joints, but monoarthiritis may be the presenting feature of brucellosis (25,29).…”

“…Tc 99m metilen difosfonat (MDP) kemik sintigrafisinin duyarlılığı radyografiye göre belirgin olarak yüksektir ve erken tanıda önemli bir yere sahiptir. Erken tanıdaki başarısı ve yük-sek duyarlılığı nedeniyle tanıda öncelikle başvurulacak yön-tem olmalıdır (28).…”

“…Radyoizotop maddeler ile yapılan sintigrafik tetkikler özellikle erken dönemde tanı koydurucudur. Tc 99m MDP kemik sintigrafisi bruselloza bağlı osteoartiküler komplikasyonların tanısında oldukça kullanışlıdır (28). Fokal spondilitte, sadece vertebra korpusunun anteriorunda orta derecede artmış tutulum saptanırken, difüz spondilitte tutulum gösteren vertebralarda yaygın artmış tutulum saptanır (24).…”

“…Bone scintigraphy has been reported to be a highly sensitive method for the detection of osteoarticular brucellosis and should be routinely used in screening for asymptomatic occult lesion in patients with brucellosis [2][3][4][5]. We present an unusual case of occult Brucella ostomyelitis in the frontal bone of the skull detected by bone scintigraphy (Figs.…”

“…Although brucellosis often results in complications in various parts of the body, osteoarticular involvement is the most common complication and includes arthritis, sacroiliitis, spondylitis, and osteomyelitis. Most reports of Brucella osteomyelitis have involved the spine [2][3][4][5][6] or the long bones [2,3].…”
