Overview

Brucellosis can present with diverse clinical presentation, which include systemic flu-like symptoms and symptoms due to focal involvement of organs

Symptoms

Patients with Brucellosis, can present with diverse clinical presentation, which include systemic flu-like symptoms and symptoms due to focal involvement of organs:[1][2][3][4]Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</ref>[5][6]Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</ref>[7][8][9][10]

Brucellosis
Acute brucellosis Systemic symptoms

Depression

Focal organ wise symptoms:

  • Muscuoskeletal: Joint pain(Commonly in low back and larger joints of lower limbs)
  • Genitourinary: Pain in the genital region and increase in frequency of urination/burning senation while passing urine(2 to 20 percent of cases)
  • Pulmonary: Cough, chest pain, difficulty in breathing(pulmonary involvement present upto 7 percent of patients)
  • Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain and symptoms of hepatitis can be present in 3-6 percent of presenting patients
  • Neurological: Headache, confusion or altered sensorium(meningoencephalitits), loss of sensation(radiculopathies or neuritis involving the cranial or peripheral nerves) can be present in 2-7 percent of patients
  • Cardiovascular: Chest pain is rare cardiovascular feature of brucellosis
  • Ocular: Difficulty in vision and Dimenision of vision
  • Dermatology: Rash, ulcer or tender swelling can present with brucellosis upto 10 percent of patient
Relapse

Relapse occurs in 5 to 15 percent of patient usually in first 6 months following treatment, although in rare cases it may even occur in up to 12 months of treatment.[11][12]

Chronic Brucellosis Presence of clinical manifestation for more then one year after established diagnosis of brucellosis is considered as chronic brucellosis.

Clincial manifestations include:[13]

Uveitis: patients complains of difficulty of vision

Spondylitis, osteomyelitis, Arthralgias: patients complains of pain in joints or joint movement

Intermittent sweating
