ÖZET
Bruselloz dünyadaki en yaygın zoonotik hastalıklardan biridir ve endemik
ülkelerde bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Nadiren akut monoartiküler tutulum
brusellozun tek semptomu olabilir. Akut monoartrit, romatolojik bir
tıbbi acil durumdur. Akut monoartrit aksi ispatlanana kadar septik artrit olarak
kabul edilmelidir. Enfeksiyöz monoartrit el bileğini nadiren etkiler. Ayrıca
brusellozun akut monoartiküler tutulum gösterdiği durumlarda el bileği
ekleminin etkilenmesi istisnai bir durumdur. Sunulan olgular el bileğinde
ağrı, şişlik ve sıcaklık şikâyeti ile başvurdu. Her iki olguda da koyun, keçi
gibi hayvanlarla mesleki temas öyküsü vardı. Her iki olgu da bruselloz için
endemik olan kırsal bir bölgede yaşıyordu. Brusellozun endemik olduğu
bölgelerde veya bu bölgelerden gelen hastalarda el bileği monoartritlerinin
ayırıcı tanısında bruselloz düşünülmelidir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Artrit; bruselloz; el bileği; ağrı; olgu sunumu
ABSTRACT
Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in
the world and is a public health problem in endemic countries. Rarely, acute
monoarticular involvement can be the only symptom of brucellosis. Acute
monoarthritis is a rheumatologic medical emergency. It is recommended
that a patient with acute monoarthritis should be considered to have septic
arthritis until proven otherwise. Infectious monoarthritis rarely affects the
wrist. Also in cases which brucellosis has acute monoarticular involvement,
it is exceptional that the wrist joint is affected. The presented cases came
with pain, swelling and warmth in their wrists. Both cases had a history of
occupational contact with animals such as sheep and goat and lived in a rural
area endemic for brucellosis. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential
diagnosis of monoarthritis of the wrist in areas where brucellosis
is endemic or in patients coming from these regions.
