Abstract: Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that contaminates humans from animals with the infection by digestion of food products or by contact with tissue or fluids. It is the most common bacterial zoonosis globally. Brucellosis is a multisystem infection with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Nonetheless, neurological system and cardiovascular association is very rare. Brucellosis is still a main public health problem and is prevalent in many countries, particularly in Mediterranean areas, parts of south and Central America, and East and Western Africa. It may affect any organ system. No cases were shared in the journals to describe chronic brucellosis with multisystem involvement, including epidimyitis, cutaneus, spondylodiscitis.
In this case report, it was aimed to share with the literature, a case of chronic brucellosis with multisystem involvement (epidimyitis, cutaneus, sponylodiscitis).
As overall, it is considered wise to think about brucellosis when dealing with patients with multi-system involvement of unknown etiology, particularly in regions where there is a high prevalence of brucellosis. In similar cases, patients should be carefully monitored for any evidence of complications such as multi-system involvement. In addition to other systems such as central-nervous and cardiovascular systems.
The treating physician must keep suspicion of any complication that can occur. High and meticulously look for all possible complications should be done in advance, because once they occur, quick decision taking should be done in order to save patients’ life.
Keywords: chronic brucellosis, zoonotic infection, cardiovascular systems.
