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.
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.
