Brucellosis associated with deep vein thrombosis

Abstract

Over the past 10 years more than 700 cases of brucellosis have been reported in Kosovo, which is heavily oriented towards agriculture and animal husbandry. Here, brucellosis is still endemic and represents an uncontrolled public health problem. Human brucellosis may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations; among them, vascular complications are uncommon. Hereby we describe the case of a 37-year-old male patient with brucellosis complicated by deep vein thrombosis on his left leg.

Deep Venous Thrombosis as a Complication of Brucellosis: A Case Report on Diagnosis and Treatment Management

“…Human brucellosis is common, especially in the Mediterranean region and developing countries [1] . Although osteoarticular involvement is common, vascular complications have rarely been associated with brucellosis [2][3][4][5][6] . Herein, it is aimed to present a case of human brucellosis complicated by deep venous thrombosis.…”

“…Many organ systems may be affected by Brucella infection. Cardiovascular involvement is one of the rare clinical presentations and pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, and vascular involvement have been reported in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . In our patient, deep venous thrombosis was observed and multiple areas of involvement were detected in the vast majority of the vascular system.…”

A Rare Case Report of Deep Vein Thrombocytosis associated with Brucellosis in Iran

“…The disease is endemic in many countries including Iran and the incidence of the disease is estimated to be 500,000 cases annually all around the world [2]. Brucellosis is a multi-systemic disease with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and, can be potentially lethal due to complications [3]. Despite of common osteoarticular complication in endemic regions, the vascular complication is almost rare [4].…”

Etiological Profile and Resistance of Bacterial Isolates from Samples of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Kosovo, during the years 2014-2019

“…Bacterial meningitis has no common epidemiological features. The vast majority of them are in fact sporadic [9]. Only meningococcal meningitis and meningitis from Haemophilus influenzae, which have a sporadic, endemic and epidemic character.…”

“…Epidemics of meningitis from Escherichia Coli have also been encountered, but they are mostly nosocomial. According to the Wold Health Organisation (WHO), in 2010, bacterial meningitis occurred in 3 out of 100,000 inhabitants, as opposed to viral meningitis which was encountered in 11 inhabitants out of 100,000 inhabitants [9].…”
