Summary

Brucellosis can cause various chest radiographic abnormalities, including previously undescribed findings like soft miliary mottling and pneumothorax. These lung changes are likely linked to the chronic nature of brucellosis infections.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Pulmonary involvement in brucellosis is recognized but less frequently studied.
  • Chest radiography is a key diagnostic tool for assessing respiratory symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the spectrum of chest radiographic findings in patients diagnosed with brucellosis.
  • To identify common and novel radiographic abnormalities associated with brucellosis.
  • To correlate radiographic findings with clinical symptoms and disease chronicity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of chest radiographs from patients with confirmed brucellosis.
  • Review of clinical data including presenting symptoms and disease duration.

  • Categorization and description of observed radiographic abnormalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Common symptoms included fever, back/joint pain, sweating, headache, and cough.
    • Detected radiographic abnormalities: soft miliary mottling, parenchymal nodules, consolidation, chronic diffuse changes, lymphadenopathy, and pneumothorax.
    • Soft miliary mottling and pneumothorax were identified as novel findings in brucellosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Brucellosis frequently presents with significant chest radiographic abnormalities.
    • The chronicity of brucellosis appears to correlate with a higher incidence of lung involvement.
    • Radiographic findings like soft miliary mottling and pneumothorax expand the known spectrum of pulmonary brucellosis.
