Overview
Patients with brucellosis are usually well-appearing. Physical examination usually reveal combination of several non-specific findings.
Physical Examination
Patients with brucellosis are usually well-appearing. Physical examination usually reveal combination of several non-specific findings, which include:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
| Examination findings | Brucellosis physical examination |
|---|---|
| Appearance of patient | Patients are usually well-appearing |
| Vital Signs | Pulse rate-Normal/Tachycardia with regular rhythm, normal volume
Temperature- Normal or elevated Blood pressure- Normal Respiratory rate-Normal/tachypnea (pneumonia/lung involvement) Oxygen saturation- usually normal but some cases may have low oxygen saturation (lung involvement). Blood glucose level- normal |
| Skin | Skin examination may be normal or reveal the following:
|
| HEENT | Eye examination is usually normal but signs of uveitis may be present in few patients |
| Neck | Neck examination is usually normal but cervical lymphadenopathy may be present in few patients |
| Lungs | Brucellosis involving lung, may reveal multiple findings depending on the kind of involvement(it could be pneumonia, bronchitis, pleural effusion or empyema or combination of these). Based on the involvement, lung examination may reveal:
|
| Heart | Heart examination may reveal murmurs on auscultation (endocarditis) |
| Abdomen | Abdominal examination may elicit: |
| Back | Back examination is usually normal |
