When Brucellosis and Sacroiliitis Occur Together: An Unprecedented Pathogen to Consider
Received Date: Sep 07, 2023 / Published Date: Oct 09, 2023
Abstract
Brucella sacroiliitis is an uncommon but serious infection of the sacroiliac joint, which joins the sacrum bone to the iliac bone in the pelvis. Brucella sacroiliitis is a rare condition that may be challenging to identify and manage. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a positive outcome because delayed or insufficient care can lead to persistent infection, joint damage, and other serious problems. Today we report a case of sacroiliitis secondary to Brucella melitensis in a 43-year-old Middle Eastern gentleman.
