Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease that involves the tissues and
organs of the reticuloendothelial system. Although splenomegaly may be seen in
brucellosis, spleen abscess or spleen
infarction has rarely been reported. Left upper quadrant pain and fever are the
most common symptoms in splenic infarction. In this article, we present a
79-year-old woman with splenic infarction due to brucellosis; she had
splenectomy and was treated with antimicrobial therapy for brucellosis.
Bruselloz retiküloendotelyal
sistem doku ve organlarını tutan zoonotik bir infeksiyondur. Brusellozda
splenomegali görülebilmesine rağmen dalak apsesi veya dalak infarktı nadiren
bildirilmiştir. Dalak infarktında sol üst kadran ağrısı ve ateş en sık görülen
semptomlardır. Bu yazıda, bruselloza bağlı dalak infarktı gelişen ve
splenektomi ve bruselloza yönelik antimikrobiyal tedavi uygulanan 79 yaşında
bir kadın hasta sunuldu.
