A Case of Multi-Ulcerative Abscess Due to Brucellaabortusin Kerman, South East of Iran
Journal Title: Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 43, Issue 5
Abstract
Cutaneous involvement is an unusual complication in brucellosis that has been reported to range between 0.4% and 17%. We here introduce a 40-year-old shepherd, who presented with two ulcerative abscesses in his lower left leg. Cultivation of the abscess aspirate was positive forBrucellaabortus. The first titer of his serological test was 1/160, which subsequently rose to 1/640. In countries like Iran where brucellosis is still endemic, it is important to takeBrucellaspecies into account among other pyogenic bacteria as a causative agent of cutaneous abscesses.
