Abstract

Brucellosis and tuberculosis are endemic disease in Turkey. Hence the clinical and laboratory findings are frequently similar, pericarditis caused by brucellosis and tuberculosis may be confused. In this case, pericarditis due to brucellosis and tuberculosis co-infection has been reported. This report emphasizes the co-infection possibility of brucellosis and tuberculosis in endemic countries.

Özet

Ülkemizde bruselloz ve tüberküloz endemik olarak görülmektedir. Bruselloz ve tüberküloz perikardite neden olabilir. Bu etkenlere bağlı perikarditin klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları benzerdir. Burada bruselloz ve tüberkülozun koinfeksiyon olarak görüldüğü bir perikardit olgusu sunulmuştur. Ülkemiz gibi tüberküloz ve brusellozun endemik olduğu bölgelerde perikarditin ayırıcı tanısında, tüberküloz ve bruselloz akılda tutulmalıdır.
