ABSTRACT

Relata-se o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 32 anos, comerciante, com manifestações sistêmicas de brucelose, como febre diária contínua, sinal de Faget, lombalgia, cervicalgia, náuseas e cefaleia. Quando questionada, a paciente referiu consumo de leite e queijo não pasteurizados de origem bovina. Nos exames laboratoriais, foram evidenciados leucocitose, linfopenia, proteína C-reativa dentro dos parâmetros da normalidade e ausência de transaminasemia, contrapondo achados clássicos da doença. Os exames de imagem mostraram sinais característicos de sacroileíte. O tratamento foi realizado com doxiciclina 100mg via oral a cada 12 horas e estreptomicina 1g via intramuscular diária. O resultado da titulação para brucelose foi positivo. A paciente teve boa resposta ao tratamento, mantendo-se afebril e em bom estado geral até a alta hospitalar, que ocorreu após 14 dias do início da medicação, tendo sido mantido o tratamento ambulatorialmente.
