Abstract

Brucellosis is a significant public health problem particularly in developing countries. People are frequently infected through milk, milk products, urine and pregnancy material of animals with brucellosis. Epididymoorchitis is the most frequent genitourinary complication of brucellosis and is often unilateral. In this report, a 35 years old male patient who was diagnosed as epididymoorchitis based on clinical presentation,laboratory findings and imaging techniques, has been presented. Brucella melitensis was isolated from blood, bone marrow and ejaculate cultures of the patient. The patient was treated with rifampicine and doxycycline combination therapy for six weeks and no complication has developed in the one year follow-up period. In areas where brucellosis is endemic, such as our country, Brucella infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of epididymoorchitis and in addition to blood and bone marrow cultures, ejaculate cultures should also be evaluated.

Özet

Bruselloz, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. İnsanlar sıklıkla brusellozlu hayvanların süt, süt ürünleri, idrar ve gebelik materyaliyle enfekte olur. Epididimoorşit, brusellozun en sık görülen genitoüriner komplikasyonu olup, sıklıkla tek taraflıdır. Bu raporda klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları ve görüntüleme yöntemleriyle epididimoorşit tanısı konulan 35 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmaktadır. Hastadan yapılan kan, kemik iliği ve ejekülat kültürlerinden Brucella melitensis izole edilmiştir. Hasta, altı hafta süreyle rifampisin ve doksisiklin kombinasyonu ile tedavi edilmiş ve bir yıllık takip süresince herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmemiştir. Ülkemiz gibi brusellozun endemik olduğu bölgelerdeki epididimoorşitli olguların ayırıcı tanısında Brucella enfeksiyonu düşünülmeli; kan ve kemik iliği kültürü yanında ejekülat kültürü de yapılmalıdır.
