[Acute prostatitis as the 1st symptom of brucellosis].
Archivos Españoles de Urología 2003 June
OBJECTIVES: To report a case of acute prostatitis as the first symptom of brucellosis.
METHODS: 43-year-old patient who presented with a clinical picture of acute prostatitis and a febrile syndrome for seven days. Physical exam, blood and urine analysis and microbiological tests, and specific serologic studies were performed.
RESULTS: Microbiological diagnosis was negative for bacteria, but Bengala pink (+), antibrucella serum agglutination (+) 1/320, and anti-Brucella Coombs test (+) 1/5120. Specific treatment was started with doxycyclin 100 mg b.i.d for 45 days and streptomycin 1 gr o.d for 15 days, with a positive outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: The genitourinary tract is the second most frequent localization, being the testicle the most frequently affected organ, although it can also be localized in other areas of the urinary tract.
