Brucellosis and Acute Rheumatic Fever can not be verified by only clinical manifestations and the pattern of joint involvement. Four patients presented below had high fever, sweats, severe arthralgia and swelling of one or multiple joints, elevated sedimentation rate and positive C - reactive protein test and even leukocytosis. Therefore they were treated with anti - rheumatic drugs for 4 to 7 days after onset till brucellosis was considered or its specific tests became positive.
布鲁氏菌病和急性风湿热不能仅通过临床表现和关节受累模式来确诊。以下四位患者均出现高热、盗汗、严重关节痛以及一个或多个关节肿胀，血沉升高、C反应蛋白检测呈阳性，甚至出现白细胞增多。因此，他们在发病后接受了4至7天的抗风湿药物治疗，直到考虑为布鲁氏菌病或其特异性检测呈阳性。
