ABSTRACT

Brucellosis is a multisystemic disease that rarely leads to a fatal outcome. While reticuloendothelial system organs are mostly affected, peritonitis and posthepatitic cirrhosis are also complications of brucellosis, though they are very rare. Brucella spp. can also trigger immunological reactions. We report a case of brucellosis with peritonitis, renal failure and leucocytoclastic vasculitis caused by Brucella melitensis, which led to a fatal outcome. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vasculitic diseases, especially in endemic areas.

ABSTRACT

El Micoplasma pneumoniae (MP) es un germen frecuentemente implicado en cuadros de infecciones respiratorias en niños y adultos jóvenes. Se han descrito múltiples afectaciones extrapulmonares asociadas con la enfermedad, fundamentalmente a nivel del sistema nervioso central, como mielitis trasversa, meningoencefalitis y meningitis aséptica. Sin embargo, sólo hemos encontrado, en la literatura, tres casos descritos previamente en los que coexisten infección por MP (confirmada serológicamente) y vasculitis leucocitoclástica (confirmada por biopsia). Creemos que esto se debería a la realización de tratamiento empírico sin confirmación histológica y serológica, lo que conllevaría un infradiagnóstico de esta patología. Presentamos un caso de infección aguda por MP con lesiones cutáneas de vasculitis leucocitoclástica.
