A retrospective study of chest radiographs in patients with brucellosis was undertaken at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh. The commonest presenting symptoms were fever, back and joint pains, excessive sweating, headache, and cough. Different chest radiographic abnormalities were detected, including soft miliary mottling, parenchymal nodules, consolidation, chronic diffuse changes, hilar or paratracheal lymphadenopathy and pneumothorax. Soft miliary mottling and pneumothorax have not been described before. The high incidence of lung abnormalities is most probably due to the chronicity of the disease in the present series.
在利雅得的哈立德国王大学医院对布鲁氏菌病患者的胸部X光片进行了一项回顾性研究。最常见的症状为发热、背部和关节疼痛、多汗、头痛及咳嗽。检测到了不同的胸部X光异常，包括软性粟粒状斑点、实质结节、实变、慢性弥漫性改变、肺门或气管旁淋巴结肿大和气胸。软性粟粒状斑点和气胸此前未见报道。本系列中肺部异常的高发生率很可能归因于疾病的慢性病程。
