The diagnosis of brucellosis was made with compatible clinical findings, positive Brucella agglutination 1\/160 titres, and\/or the isolation of Brucella species. The patients were followed up without intervention. <\/jats:p><jats:p> One hundred and thirty-eight patients with active brucellosis were evaluated. Of the participants, 79 (57.2%) cases were acute, 23 (16.7%) sub-acute and 36 (26.1%) chronic. Brucella melitensis was isolated in the specimens of 24 (26.9%) out of 89 patients. The most frequent symptoms were fever (78.3%), arthralgia (77.5%) and sweating (72.5%). The most common physical findings were fever (40.6%), splenomegaly (36.2%), and hepatomegaly (26.8%). The osteoarticular involvement was found in 64 patients (46.4%). Ten (7.5%) patients had orchiepididymitis. Meningitis, pulmonary involvement, endocarditis, and hepatitis were found in five (3.6%), three (2.1%), two (1.5%) and one (0.7%) patient, respectively. Relative lymphomonocytosis was found in 80 cases (58.8%), anaemia in 46 (33.3%) and leucopoenia in 30 cases (21.7%). Clinical relapse was observed in 14 patients (10.1%). <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/004947506775598752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,7]],"date-time":"2006-02-07T21:33:04Z","timestamp":1139347984000},"page":"49-51","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Clinical and laboratory features of brucellosis in two university hospitals in Southeast Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Omer Faruk","family":"Kokoglu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University Hospital, Kahramanmaras;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salih","family":"Hosoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Dicle University Hospital, Diyarbakir;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Faruk","family":"Geyik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Dicle University Hospital, Diyarbakir;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celal","family":"Ayaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Dicle University Hospital, Diyarbakir;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serife","family":"Akal\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Dicle University Hospital, Diyarbakir;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Akif","family":"Buyukbese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University Hospital, Kahramanmaras, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Cetinkaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University Hospital, Kahramanmaras, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,1]]},"container-title":["Tropical Doctor"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/004947506775598752","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/004947506775598752","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]],"date-time":"2025-01-27T19:06:42Z","timestamp":1738004802000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/004947506775598752"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/004947506775598752"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/004947506775598752","relation":{},"ISSN":["0049-4755","1758-1133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0049-4755","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,1]]}}}
