Overview
There is no specific X-ray finding associated with Brucellosis.
Brucellosis X-ray
There is no specific X-ray finding associated with brucellosis. X-ray findings can help in diagnosis the focal localized involvement of brucellosis, these include:[1][2]
- Findings of Pedro Pons sign can be suggestive of brucellic spondylitis.[3]
- There are no specific chest x ray findings associated with brucellosis. But pulmonary involvement of brucellosis may be associated with multiple X-ray findings, which could be consistent with x-ray findings of bronchopneumonia, empyema, hilar and paratracheal lymphadenopathy, interstitial pneumonitis, lung nodules or pleural effusions.[2]
- Involvement of Vertebrae by brucellosis may present on x-ray has anterior erosions of the superior end plate and sclerosis of the entire vertebra.
- Septic arthritis brucellosis can present lately with small pericapsular erosions, which may be visible on X ray.
