Brucellosis, a bacterial infection, can cause rare skin issues like allergic vasculitis. This case highlights a patient successfully treated for brucellosis with vasculitis using antibiotics and supportive care.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection caused by Brucella species.
  • Skin manifestations occur in 1.5-11% of brucellosis cases.
  • Allergic vasculitis is an uncommon presentation of brucellosis.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old man presented with symptoms suggestive of brucellosis.
  • Clinical signs included purpuric papules, arthritis, and renal involvement (hematuria, proteinuria).
  • Histopathology confirmed leukocytoclastic vasculitis of small dermal vessels.

Findings:

  • The patient had a positive Wright test (1/1,280), confirming brucellosis.
  • Treatment with rifampicin, doxycycline, and dapsone led to a favorable outcome.
  • This case underscores the rare association between brucellosis and allergic vasculitis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering brucellosis in patients with vasculitis and systemic symptoms.
  • Suggests effective treatment strategies for this rare complication.
  • Emphasizes the diverse clinical spectrum of brucellosis, including dermatological and renal manifestations.
