Brucella arthritis.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Brucellosis can cause peripheral arthritis, often presenting as true septic arthritis. Characteristic synovial fluid findings aid in early diagnosis and management of this joint infection in endemic regions.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Rheumatology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease in Southwestern Greece.
    • Peripheral arthritis is a known complication of brucellosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of peripheral arthritis in brucellosis patients.
    • To identify diagnostic features of brucella arthritis in synovial fluid.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 40 brucellosis patients over 4 years.
    • Synovial fluid aspiration and analysis in patients with arthritis.
    • Cultures of synovial fluid for Brucella.

    Main Results:

    • Nine cases (22.5%) of peripheral arthritis were observed.

  • Synovial fluid showed elevated white cell counts (4,460–8,800/mm³) with lymphocytic predominance.
  • Brucella was cultured from synovial fluid in 3 of 5 aspirated cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Brucella arthritis is primarily a true septic arthritis.
    • Distinct synovial fluid features aid in differentiating brucella arthritis from other septic arthritides.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial in endemic areas.
