Abstract

Osteo-articular involvement is a common complication of brucellosis. Some of the symptoms resemble those associated with the reactive spondylarthritis, which are associated with an increased frequency of the histocompatibility antigen HLA B27. The aim of the study was to investigate a possible association between osteo-articular brucellosis and HLA B27. The study included 78 patients with brucellosis, 25 of them with osteo-articular complications and 100 healthy adult donors serving as the control group. Detection of HLA B27 antigen made by microlymphocytotoxicity method. The frequency of HLA B27 was 14.1 % (11/78) in all patients, 16 % (4/25) in patients with osteoarticular brucellosis while 8 % (8/100) in the control group. Although HLA B27 frequency in osteo-articular group was slightly higher than those of other groups, there was no significant statistical difference in between (p>0.05). Conclusively, further studies including a larger number of patients with osteoarticular involvement of brucellosis may need to be performed to find a possible association.

Özet

Brusellozda en sık görülen komplikasyonların başında osteo-artiküler tutulum gelmektedir. HLA B27 antijeninin sıklıkla ilişkili olduğu reaktif spondilo-artritlerle bruselloza bağlı osteo-artiküler komplikasyonlar klinik olarak benzerlik göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, osteo-artiküler bruselloz gelişmesinde HLA B27 antijeninin predispozan faktör olup olmadığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 25'i (%32.05) osteo-artiküler komplikasyonlu olan toplam 78 brusellozlu hasta ve 100 sağlıklı verici kontrol grubu olarak alınmıştır. HLA B27 antijeni saptaması mikrolenfositotoksisite yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Brusellozlu hastaların %14.1'inde (11/78), osteo-artiküler komplikasyonlu hastaların %16'smda (4/25) HLA B27 pozitif iken, sağlıklı kontrol grubunda bu oran %8 (8/100) olarak bulunmuştur. Osteo-artiküler komplikasyon gelişen grupta HLA B27 daha yüksek oranda saptanmasına rağmen, bu grup osteo-artiküler komplikasyon olmayan grup ve kontrol grubu ile ayrı ayrı kıyaslandığı zaman aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, olası ilişkiyi gösterebilmek için daha fazla sayıda osteo-artiküler tutulumu olan brusellozlu hastaları içeren yeni çalışmalara gereksinim vardır.
