Abstract

Brucella infection is a systemic disease, but the microorganism rarely causes infections in the gastrointestinal system such as hepatitis, cholecystitis, colitis and pancreatitis. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to Brucella is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of cirrhosis complicated with nongranulomatous hepatitis and peritonitis, both due to Brucella. A 63 year-old man with diabetes mellitus was admitted to hospital with complaints of weakness, backache, abdominal pain and abdominal swelling. On the basis of physical examination and laboratory findings, cryptogenic cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were diagnosed. Due to persistent fever and backache, serum Brucella agglutination test was performed and found to be positive. Brucella melitensis was isolated from ascitic fluid culture. Liver biopsy findings revealed "cirrhosis and a nongranulomatous hepatitis which was thought might be due to Brucella infection. Doxycycline and rifampicin, in addition to diuretics were administered for spontaneous ascites infection due to Brucella. A week later, the patient's condition improved and he became afebrile. After two months of therapy, the ascites had almost disappeared.

Özet

Brusella infeksiyonu sistemik bir hastalıktır. Nadiren, hepatit, kolesistit, kolit ve pankreatit gibi gastrointestinal sistem infeksiyonlarına neden olur. Brusellanın sebep olduğu spontan bakteriyel peritonit oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazıda brusellaya bağlı nongranülomatöz hepatit ve peritonit komplikasyonlu siroz vakası sunuldu. Şeker hastalığı olan 63 yaşında erkek hasta halsizlik, sırt ağrısı, karın ağrısı ve karında şişlik nedeniyle hastaneye başvurdu. Fizik muayene ve laboratuvar bulguları değerlendirilerek kriptojenik siroz ve spontan bakteriyel peritonit tanısı verildi. Sırt ağrısı ve ateşinin devam etmesi üzerine Brucella agglütinasyon testi yapıldı ve pozitif bulundu. Asit sıvı kültüründe Brucella melitensis izole edildi. Karaciğer biyopsi bulguları sirozla ve brusella infeksiyonuna bağlı olduğu düşünülen nongranülomatöz hepatitle uyumlu olarak değerlendirildi. Tedaviye diüretiklerin yanısıra doxisiklin ve rifampisin eklendi. Bir hafta sonra hastanın genel durumu düzeldi ve ateşi düştü, iki aylık tedavi sonunda asit sıvısı hemen hemen kayboldu.
