Human brucellosis is a complex multisystem disease that can affect many organs. Renal involvement in human brucellosis is rarely found. Here, we present a case report of a patient who presented to us with acute kidney injury, complicating brucellosis. After thorough evaluation including kidney biopsy, the patient was found to have nephritic syndrome due to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The patient reached a complete remission after completing a course of anti-brucellosis treatment.
人类布鲁氏菌病是一种复杂的多系统疾病,可影响多个器官。肾脏受累在人类布鲁氏菌病中很少见。在这里,我们报告了一例因布鲁氏菌病并发急性肾损伤就诊的患者。经过全面评估,包括肾活检,发现患者因急进性肾小球肾炎而患有肾病综合征。患者在完成一疗程抗布鲁氏菌病治疗后达到完全缓解。
