Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease which causes a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations seen endemically in Turkey like in many parts of the world. Septic arthritis can rarely be the only clinical presentation. For diagnosis, microbiological examination of synovial fluid is necessary. In this case report we aimed to present a case of brucellar septic monoarthritis of the knee of which the culture and tube agglutination were both positive.

Özet

Brusellozis dünyanın birçok bölgesinde olduğu gibi Türkiye’de endemik olarak görülen, çeşitli klinik tablolara neden olan zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Septik artrit nadiren hastalığın tek bulgusu olabilir. Tanı için sinoviyal sıvının mikrobiyolojik incelemesi gereklidir. Bu makalede kültür ve tüp aglütinasyon pozitifliğinin bir arada olduğu dizde gelişen bir brusellar septik monoartrit vakasının sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
