Abstract

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is an infectious disease with moderate to severe acute respiratory syndrome. The disease, which was first discovered in Wuhan, China's Hubei province, has spread worldwide, causing a COVID -19 pandemic. During the clinical follow-up of patients diagnosed with COVID-19, other infectious agents are also encountered. Brucellosis can be presented with different clinical presentations due to its wide variety of organ involvement. Rarely, it may also appear as an underlying disease in patients who are followed up due to sepsis especially in endemic regions. The disease can cause delay in diagnosis, as it can mimic many diseases and escape the clinician's eye. In this case report; we aimed to emphasize the brucellosis coinfection detected in the patient with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who had a positive PCR test during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Özet

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) insanlarda orta-şiddetli akut solunum yolu sendromu oluşturan bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. İlk olarak Çin'in Hubei eyaletinin Wuhan şehrinde keşfedilmiş olan hastalık, dünya çapında yayılarak COVID -19 pandemisine yol açmıştır. COVID-19 tanılı hastaların klinik takibi sırasında hastalıkla beraber diğer enfeksiyon etkenlerine de rastlanmaktadır. Brusellozis çok çeşitli organ tutulumu yapma özelliği nedeniyle farklı klinik tablolarla prezente olabilir. Ender olarak özellikle endemik bölgelerde sepsis sebebi ile izlenen hastalarda altta yatan bir hastalık olarak karşımıza da çıkabilmektedir. Hastalık birçok hastalığı taklit edebildiği için ve klinisyenin gözünden kaçabileceği için tanının gecikmesine neden olabilir. Bu vaka sunumunda; altta yatan kronik obstruktif akciğer hastalığı olan, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde PCR testi pozitif olarak sonuçlanan hastada saptanan Brusella koenfeksiyonunu vurgulamayı amaçladık.
