Abstract
In this study, clinical and laboratory findings of 130 patients, who were diagnosed and followed-up for brucellosis in an infectious diseases clinic, were retrospectively evaluated. Hematologic tests, in addition to clinical findings and laboratory examinations, were done before the initiation of the treatment in all of the patients. There were, anemia in 31.5%, leukocytosis in 9.2%, lymphocytosis in 5.4%, leukopenia in 30.7%, neutropenia in 7.7%, thrombocytopenia in 18.5%, the high erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 63.8%, hepatomegaly in 54.6%, splenomegaly in 30.8%, proteinuria in 34.6% and microscopic hematuria in 22.3% of the patients. Before the treatment, thrombocytopenia was significantly higher in the patients who had lower brucella agglutinin liter and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p
Özet
Bu çalışmada klinikte takip edilen ve bruselloz tanısı alan 130 olgu retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Olgular tedavi öncesi klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları ile birlikte özellikle hematolojik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Olguların %31.5'inde anemi, %9.2'sinde lökositoz, %5.4'ünde lenfositoz, %7.7'sinde nötropeni, %18.5'inde trombositopeni, %63.8'sinde eritrosit sedimantasyon yüksekliği, %54.6'sında hepatomegali, %30.8'inde splenomegali, %34.6'sında proteinüri ve %22.3'ünde mikroskobik hematüri saptanmıştır. Tedavi öncesi sedimantasyonu yüksek ve brusella antikor titrasyonu düşük olan olgularda trombositopeni daha yüksek oranda bulunmuştur (p
