Brucellosis

Brucellosis, also known as Cretan fever or Malta fever, is a zoonotic systemic infectious disease caused by Brucella. Its clinical features include long-term fever, hyperhidrosis, arthralgia, and hepatosplenomegaly. After humans are infected with Brucella, the bacteria produce bacteremia and toxemia in the human body, involving various organs, chronic phase and more invasion of the spine and large joints. Later manifested as skeletal involvement, of which the spine is the most common, especially the lumbar spine. The most serious complications of brucellosis are meningitis and myocarditis. Although the incidence of brucellosis is low, it is very dangerous. Therefore, while treating brucellosis, attention should be paid to the detection and treatment of complications.

Diagnosis of Brucellosis

There are several methods to detect brucellosis:

• Blood routine. The number of white blood cells in the patient is normal or slightly decreased, and the lymphocytes are relatively increased. The chronically ill have mild or moderate anemia.
• Bacteriological examination. The blood, bone marrow, breast milk, and uterine secretions of the patient can be cultured for bacteria. The positive rate is high in the acute phase and low in the chronic phase.
• ELISA. ELISA can detect the titer of IgM in patients, and can provide a reliable diagnosis for patients with clinically suspicious symptoms in the acute phase. This method has high sensitivity and specificity.
• Genetic diagnosis. A small amount of Brucella can be detected by PCR. Besides, 16S rRNA gene sequencing can be used as a rapid identification method for Brucella.
• Imaging tests. X-ray, CT and MRI can assist in the diagnosis of brucellosis by identifying the clinical symptoms.
