Overview
Brucellosis must be differentiated from typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis, lymphoma, dengue, leptospirosis and rheumatic diseases.[1]
Differentiating Brucellosis from other Diseases
| Differential Diagnosis | Distinguishing Clinical Features |
|---|---|
| Typhoid fever | High persistent fevers (104-105°F), particularly vespertine + constipation + relative bradycardia |
| Malaria | Intermittent fever + chills + sweating + anorexia + nausea + cephalalgia + myalgia + normal CBC or thrombocytopenia and/or hemolytic anemia + hyperbilirubinemia + normal or mild elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate + hepatosplenomegaly |
| Tuberculosis | Night sweats + weight loss + dry or productive cough. |
| Lymphoma | Painless superficial lymphadenopathy (cervical, supraclavicular, axillary or inguinal) + fever + night sweats + asthenia + weight loss + generalized pruritus |
| Dengue | Fever + cephalalgia + retro orbital pain + myalgias + abdominal pain + arthralgia + cutaneous eruption + hemorrhagic manifestations |
| Leptospirosis | Jaundice with no hepatosplenomegaly + leukocytosis + neutrophilia + elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate |
| Rheumatic Diseases | Protracted fever + weight loss + polyadenopathy + cough + thoracic pain + hemoptysis + dysphonia + weakness + ocular lesions. |
