Infective Endocarditis Due to Brucella canis: A Case Report

Abstract: GirişBrucella türlerinden B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis ve nadiren de B. canis insanlarda hastalığa neden olur. B. canis insanlarda diğer türlere göre daha hafif veya asemptomatik infeksiyonlara neden olmaktadır. (1,2). Brucella endokarditi tanısı için kan kültürü, serolojik testler ve ekokardiyografi yapılması gerekmektedir (3,4). Kan kültürünün duyarlılığının düşük olması nedeniyle Brucella serolojik testlerinin önemi fazladır. Ancak, B. canis, rutinde kullanılan serolojik testlerle saptanamamaktadır. B… Show more

“…Researchers have performed serological tests for the serological diagnosis of the disease by using antigens prepared from rough strains, and many serologically positive findings have been reported in Turkey (3,7,14) and in various other countries in the world (13). Researchers have also performed serological tests with blood sera using smooth antigens in some conducted studies, which were related to B. canis originating from dog brucellosis cases, and they reported the test results as negative (4,14). In this study, in accordance with bacterial isolation, the disease was also diagnosed serologically by confirming its nonsmooth antigenic structure.…”

“…Although canine brucellosis caused by B. canis has been reported worldwide (2), few human cases have been reported so far (1). In Turkey, as well, there are few serological notifications of the disease in humans (3,4). Karaşahin et al (4) isolated the specific agent from the endocarditis case of a patient.…”
