Male patients had orchitis, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, and urethral stricture, while female patients had vaginitis and cervicitis. Some patients had laboratory abnormalities and liver injury. Patients received combination therapy of rifampicin and doxycycline. Doxycycline combined with levofloxacin or moxifloxacin was administered to patients with rifampicin intolerance. All patients had received antibiotic therapy for at least 6 weeks. One patient was lost to follow-up, one patient relapsed because of osteoarthropathy, and one patient had dysuria resulting from chronic prostatitis. The clinical symptoms resolved in the other patients, and the overall patient prognosis was good.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Clinicians should pay attention to brucellosis-induced reproductive system damage. The two-drug regimen of rifampicin+doxycycline is recommended for these patients. Doxycycline combined with levofloxacin or moxifloxacin should be used in patients with brucellosis-induced reproductive system damage who have rifampicin intolerance. The treatment course should be at least 6 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060520924548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,18]],"date-time":"2020-06-18T08:41:41Z","timestamp":1592469701000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Brucellar reproductive system injury: A retrospective study of 22 cases and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8908-7688","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Disease Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0307-6425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Songsong","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Hospital of Shihezi University, Shihezi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rongjiong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Disease Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qinqi","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Disease Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Disease Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weize","family":"Zuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Hospital of Shihezi University, Shihezi, Xinjiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianbing","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Basic Medical College, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuexin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Disease Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China"},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Basic Medical College, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0300060520924548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/21.2.283"},{"key":"bibr2-0300060520924548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s1677-5538.ibju.2018.0004.0"},{"key":"bibr3-0300060520924548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmii.2016.02.004"},{"key":"bibr4-0300060520924548","first-page":"46","volume":"22","author":"Wang WQ","year":"2016","journal-title":"Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue"},{"key":"bibr5-0300060520924548","first-page":"48","volume":"30","author":"Jia B","year":"2017","journal-title":"Infectious Disease Information"},{"key":"bibr6-0300060520924548","first-page":"323","volume":"25","author":"Ministry of Health of the People\u2019s Republic of China.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Infectious Disease Information"},{"key":"bibr7-0300060520924548","unstructured":"Yang S, Ren H.
