Abstract

Peritonitis due to brucellosis is extremely rare and the reported cases are mostly chronic hepatic failure patients with ascites or chronic renal failure patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. We report a 20-year-old male patient, with no underlying disease, who was diagnosed as peritonitis due to brucellosis mimicking tuberculosis, with ascites with pleocytosis, lymphocytic predominance and high levels of adenosine deaminase.

Özet

Bruselloza bağlı peritonit nadiren bildirilmiştir. Bildirilen olgular çoğunlukla kronik karaciğer hastalığına bağlı asiti olan ya da kronik böbrek yetmezliği nedeniyle periton diyalizi uygulanan hastalardır. Altta yatan hastalığı olmayan 20 yaşındaki erkek hastada gelişen ve asit mayiinde lenfosit hakimiyetinde pleositoz olması, asit mayii adenozin deaminaz düzeyinin yüksek olması nedeniyle tüberküloz ile karışan bir olguyu bildirdik.
