Overview
Brucellosis must be differentiated from typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis, lymphoma, dengue, leptospirosis, rheumatic disease, epstein-barr virus, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, and HIV.
Differentiating Brucellosis from other Diseases
Brucellosis must be differentiated from typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis, lymphoma, Dengue, Leptospirosis, Rheumatic disease, epstein-barr virus, Toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, and HIV.[1][2][3][4]
A detailed clinical history which includes recent travel history, recent camping or hunting, consumption of unpasteurized milk or raw meat products, and occupational history should be obtained, in order to differentiate brucellosis from other diseases.
| Differential diagnosis of Brucellosis | Symptoms | Signs | Diagnosis | Additional Findings | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fever | Rash | Diarrhea | Abdominal pain | Weight loss | Painful lymphadenopathy | Hepatosplenomegaly | Arthritis | Lab Findings | ||
| Brucellosis | + | + | - | + | + | + | + | + | Relative lymphocytosis |
Night sweats, often with characteristic smell, likened to wet hay |
| Typhoid fever | + | + | - | + | - | - | + | + | Decreased hemoglobin | Incremental increase in temperature initially and than sustained fever as high as 40°C (104°F) |
| Malaria | + | - | + | + | - | - | + | + | Microcytosis,
elevated LDH |
"Tertian" fever: paroxysms occur every second day |
| Tuberculosis | + | + | - | + | + | + | - | + | Mild normocytic anemia, hyponatremia, and | Night sweats, constant fatigue |
| Lymphoma | + | - | - | + | + | - | + | - | Increase ESR, increased LDH | Night sweats, constant fatigue |
| Mumps | + | - | - | - | - | + | - | - | Relative lymphocytosis, serum amylase elevated | Parotid swelling/tenderness |
| Rheumatoid arthritis | - | + | - | - | - | - | - | + | ESR and CRP elevated, positive rheumatoid factor | Morning stiffness |
| SLE | - | + | - | + | + | - | - | + | ESR and CRP elevated, positive ANA | Fatigue |
