ABSTRACT
Brucellosis is a common global zoonotic disease caused by Brucella, which has a variety of clinical manifestations. Fever, sweating and musculoskeletal pains appear in partial brucellosis patients. The most common complication of brucellosis is osteoarthritis, including spondylitis, sacroiliitis, and peripheral arthritis such as osteomyelitis, bursitis, and tenosynovitis. The spine and sacroiliac are the most frequent affected sites of brucellosis osteoarthritis; however, the reports of peripheral arthritis such as osteomyelitis, bursitis, and tenosynovitis are low. Early and proper treatment is vital for patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis. The therapy of drugs and surgery are two current options for treatment of brucellosis osteoarthritis. In this review, clinical manifestations and treatments of brucellosis osteoarthritis are discussed in detail, which are helpful to deepen clinicians' knowledge in brucellosis.
