Abstract:
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. Its typical clinical manifestations include fever, chills, fatigue, bone and muscle pain, etc. Brucellosis can affect multiple organs and tissues, of which spine is the most common affected part, forming Brucella spondylitis. Due to the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of infected individuals being similar to other spinal diseases, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and mistreatment. This article reviews the latest research progress in clinical manifestations, imaging examination, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of Brucella spondylitis both domestically and internationally, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella spondylitis.
