Özet
Brucellosis continues to be one of the most widespread zoonoses worldwide. Human brucellosis is a multisystem disease that may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, but it may also be asymptomatic with only serological evidence of infection. In this paper, a case report is presented of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) developing after a diagnosis of acute brucellosis in a young slaughterhouse worker. A 26-year-old man was diagnosed with DVT which had presented with the complaints of weakness and fever and a one-week history of pain and swelling in the right leg. Ultrasound revealed that the right femoral and popliteal veins were occluded with thrombi. Brucella was diagnosed using Rose-Bengal, tube agglutination, the Brucellacapt test and an enzyme-linked immunoassay using anti-Brucella abortus IgM/G antibody detection at another institution. Although rare, some infectious agents may cause vascular pathologies. These conditions may be life-threatening. Thus, it should be kept in mind that vascular complications may occur during infectious disease and patients should be monitored. Additionally, patients presenting with symptoms of DVT or similar vascular pathologies should be assessed for infectious agents, particularly Brucella and Salmonella, as well as other risk factors.
