Brucellosis is a disease of multisystem organ involvement and resembles many other diseases. Rare involvements of the disease include musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, while renal involvement is exceedingly rare. Herein, we present a case of acute renal failure (ARF) due to brucellosis infection manifesting with progressively elevated urea and creatinine levels. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to reveal an association between brucellosis infection and (ARF) in the literature. We wish to present this unusual manifestation of brucellosis infection in the hope that it will be a nice contribution to the pathogenesis of the disease and to the literature.
布鲁氏菌病是一种多系统器官受累的疾病，类似于许多其他疾病。该病罕见的受累部位包括肌肉骨骼、胃肠道、心血管和中枢神经系统，而肾脏受累则极为罕见。在此，我们报告一例因布鲁氏菌病感染引起的急性肾衰竭（ARF）病例，其表现为尿素和肌酐水平逐渐升高。据我们所知，这是文献中首例报道布鲁氏菌病感染与急性肾衰竭（ARF）之间存在关联的病例。我们希望提出这种布鲁氏菌病感染的不常见表现，以期对该病的发病机制和文献做出有益贡献。
