Brucellosis is a zoonosis still endemic in many parts of the world including coastal countries of Mediterranean Sea, Middle East regions and Central and South America. Now in this study we surveyed whether patients with systemic brucellosis, BAEP differ from healthy persons or not. This will help us later, when the patients with brucellosis refer to perform BAEP to prevent misdiagnosis.
Fifteen patients with acute systemic brucellosis without neurological involvement and 15 apparently healthy persons underwent a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) study.
Comparison of pooled data between the systemic brucellosis and healthy groups showed no significant differences in all BAEP parameters.
In conclusion, BAEP parameters in brucellosis group did not differ from healthy persons. Thus in interpretation of BAEP in patients that referred for another reason and have systemic brucellosis, it is not necessary to consider about the effect of brucellosis on BAEP.
布鲁氏菌病是一种人畜共患病,在世界许多地区仍然流行,包括地中海沿岸国家、中东地区以及中南美洲。在本研究中,我们调查了系统性布鲁氏菌病患者的脑干听觉诱发电位(BAEP)是否与健康人不同。这将有助于我们日后在布鲁氏菌病患者进行BAEP检查时预防误诊。
15例无神经系统受累的急性系统性布鲁氏菌病患者和15名明显健康的人接受了脑干听觉诱发电位(BAEP)研究。
系统性布鲁氏菌病组与健康组汇总数据的比较显示,所有BAEP参数均无显著差异。
总之,布鲁氏菌病组的BAEP参数与健康人无差异。因此,在解释因其他原因就诊且患有系统性布鲁氏菌病患者的BAEP时,无需考虑布鲁氏菌病对BAEP的影响。
