Abstract

Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis in the world, with Brucella melitensis being the main isolated species. Despite this, only two cases of infection by this pathogen have been described in Colombia, none of them with osteoarticular involvement. We describe three cases of B. melitensis infection that debuted with spondylodiscitis, arthritis and myelitis, respectively, managed with combined antibiotic therapy and associated with surgical treatment, achieving clinical cure. This highlights the presence of B. melitensis in Colombia and raises the possibility of underdiagnosis of a species that before 2020 was considered absent in the country.

伴有骨关节损伤的梅毒布鲁氏菌感染：哥伦比亚报告的第一例。

布鲁氏菌病是世界上最常见的人畜共患病，布鲁氏菌病是最常见的分离种。然而，在哥伦比亚，只有两例报告的这种病原体感染病例，没有一例涉及骨关节。下面描述了三例梅毒杆菌感染病例，他们最初分别表现为脊柱炎、单体关节炎和脊髓炎，并接受了联合抗生素治疗和手术治疗，并取得了临床疗效。这些病例凸显了哥伦比亚梅毒杆菌病的存在，并提出了一种在2020年之前被认为在该国不存在的物种诊断不足的可能性。
