Abstract

Thirty-eight patients with brucellosis were investigated for the presence of sacroiiiitis using suprapubic pelvic radiography and lumbosacral late-phase bone scintigraphy. Of the patients 28 had back pain with clinical evidence of sacroiiiitis and 10 had back pain but no evidence for sacroiiiitis. In scintigraphic examination the computed quantitative value of 1.4 and over were accepted as positive for sacroiiiitis. Radiographic and scintigraphic examinations showed sacroiiiitis in 9 (23.7 %) and 29 (76.3 %) of the patients, respectively. The difference between these rates was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). It is concluded that scintigraphy can be an important method in the early diagnosis of brucellosis.

Özet

Bel ağrısı tanımlayan ve klinik olarak sakro-ileit saptanan brusellozlu 28, bel ağrısı tanımlayan ancak klinik olarak sakro-ileit saptanmayan brusellozlu 10, toplam 38 hastaya, .subrapubik pelvis grafisi ve lumbosakral geç faz kemik sintigrafisi yapıldı. Sintigrafik olarak sakro-ileit tanısı için bilgisayar ile kantitatif işlemler yapılarak 1.4 ve üzeri pozitif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların 9'u (% 23.7) radyografi ile, 29'u (% 76.3) ise sintigrafi ile sakro-ileit tanısı aldı. Radyografi ve sintigrafi sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldığında aralarındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p < 0.001). Sintigrafinin de brusellozun erken tanısında önemli bir yöntem olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
