In certain geographic areas, among which most South European countries are included, brucellosis continues to be an important health problem. Despite the disease's continued high prevalence, the advances made in its diagnosis and treatment have contributed to the rarity of different focal locations, such as the lung. Formerly, these occurrences were much more frequent. The present work offers a review of the literature on pulmonary brucellar affection and describes a case report of brucellar pulmonary empyema with isolation of Brucella melitensis from the pleural exudate. This constitutes an exceptional circumstance even in areas considered hyperendemic, such as a large part of Spain.
在某些地理区域，其中包括大多数南欧国家，布鲁氏菌病仍然是一个重要的健康问题。尽管该疾病的患病率持续居高不下，但其诊断和治疗方面的进展已导致不同病灶部位（如肺部）的罕见性。以前，这些病例更为常见。本研究对有关肺部布鲁氏菌感染的文献进行了综述，并描述了一例布鲁氏菌性肺脓肿病例报告，该病例从胸腔积液中分离出了羊布鲁氏菌。即使在被认为是高度流行的地区，如西班牙的大部分地区，这也是一种特殊情况。
