Abstract:

 

Selmin Dirgen Caylak, Hamdi Sozen, Ibak Gonen, Cem Sahin 			  	Brucellosis is a systemic disease in which all kind of tissues and organs can be affected. Brucellosis may present with different symptoms and symptoms are non-specific. A broad spectrum of clinical manifestations can be seen, therefore diagnosis can be difficult. Cutaneous complications and febrile neutropenia have been rarely reported. Here, a rare brucellosis case was reported that he applied with fever, skin eruption and neutropenia. We emphasized that especially in endemic areas brucellosis should always be kept on mind in the differential diagnosis of patient with skin eruption and febril neutropenia.

 

Bruselloz, tüm doku ve organları etkileyebilen sistemik bir hastalıktır. Bruselloz farklı belirtiler ile ortaya çıkabilir ve semptomlar özgül değildir. Klinik bulgular geniş bir yelpazede görülebilir, bu yüzden tanısı zor olabilir. Cilt komplikasyonları ve febril nötropeni nadiren bildirilmiştir. Burada, nadir görülen, ateş, cilt erupsiyonu ve nötropeni ile seyreden bir bruselloz hastası sunuldu. Özellikle endemik bölgelerde deri döküntüsü ve febril nötropenili hastaların ayırıcı tanısında brusellozun her zaman akılda tutulması gerektiği vurgulandı.
