布鲁氏菌病继发乳腺脓肿:一例罕见病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

Brucellosis is considered one of the most common bacterial zoonosis worldwide. It can affect any organ system and presents with many clinical manifestations related to the organ affected. It is quite uncommon for brucellosis to affect the breast. Here, we present a case of a 41-year-old female who presented with breast abscess associated with generalized symptoms such as fever, fatigue, epigastric pain, and arthralgia. Subsequent pus culture followed by blood culture confirms the diagnosis of brucellosis. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to take brucellosis into account when making a differential diagnosis for breast abscesses, especially in regions where the disease is endemic or in patients who have risk factors for zoonotic diseases.
