Brucellosis is a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, and it can involve any organ all over the body. Here, we report a significant rare case of brucellosis with cutaneous manifestations in a 52-year-old male patient whose disease was diagnosed via a serology test. The patient received standard antibiotic treatment, and his cutaneous lesions healed quickly. Although the cutaneous manifestations of brucellosis are exceedingly rare, in case of encountering ulcerative lesions and other cutaneous findings, particularly in endemic areas, infection with brucellosis should be kept in mind as an important differential diagnosis.
布鲁氏菌病是一种主要通过食用未经巴氏杀菌的乳制品从动物传播给人类的疾病,它可累及全身任何器官。在此,我们报告一例52岁男性患者患布鲁氏菌病并伴有皮肤表现的显著罕见病例,该病例通过血清学检测确诊。患者接受了标准抗生素治疗,其皮肤病变迅速愈合。尽管布鲁氏菌病的皮肤表现极为罕见,但在遇到溃疡性病变及其他皮肤表现时,尤其是在流行地区,应将布鲁氏菌病感染作为重要的鉴别诊断予以考虑。
