dc.description.abstractBrucellosis remains an important public health problem in Turkey, just as it is in other regions of the world. This study was conducted to determine the types and rates of cutaneous lesions that occur in patients with brucellosis. Brucellosis was diagnosed by standard tube agglutination testing for Brucella antibodies at a titer of 1/160 or higher in the presence of compatible clinical findings. A total of 140 patients who had been given a diagnosis of brucellosis were prospectively observed in the dermatology clinic. Of these patients, 102 (72.9%) were female, with a mean age of 44.11 +/- 18.22 y, and 38 (27.1 %) were male, with a mean age of 46.44 +/- 14.58 y. The duration of symptoms was less than 2 mo (acute) in 75 patients (53.5%), from 2 to 12 mo (subacute) in 30 patients (21.4%), and longer than 12 mo (chronic) in 35 patients (25.0%). Cutaneous findings related to brucellosis were observed in 8 (5.71%) of the 140 cases. Maculopapular eruptions were observed in 2 patients (25%), erythema nodosum-like lesions in 2 (25%), psoriasiform lesions in 1 (12.5%), palmar erythema in 1 (12.5%), malar eruption in 1 (12.5%), and palmar eczema in 1 (12.5%). The investigators concluded that although cutaneous findings encountered in brucellosis are generally not specific to this disease, the presence of these findings may be useful in diagnosing brucellosis in persons who live in, or used to live in, endemic regions.en_US
