Abstract:
To summarize and analyze the causes of hyponatremia in patients with brucellosis and explore the clinical manifestations of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis(SIAD)in patients with brucellosis. The clinical data of 111 patients with acute brucellosis who were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.Hyponatremia was defined by serum sodium level lower than 135 mmol/L.Clinical characteristics including medical histories,vital signs,and laboratory test findings were collected and analyzed. Hyponatremia was found in 14(12.6%)of 111 patients with brucellosis,among whom 3 patients were confirmed to be with SIAD,10 were suspected as SIAD,and 1 was diagnosis as hypopituitarism.Hypoalbuminemia,elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate,and high sensitivity C reactive protein were found in brucellosis patients with SIAD,along with severe complications such as infective endocarditis,septic shock,and anemia. Hyponatremia is not a rare condition in brucellosis patients and may be caused by SIAD.
