Abstract

Brucellosis can lead to pathological changes of multiple systems. Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a clinical syndrome caused by different reasons, mainly characterized by hypotension, hypoproteinemia and systemic edema. The condition is critical and the clinical manifestations are complex, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) may occur in severe cases. CLS caused by brucellosis is extremely rare. The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with brucellosis complicated with CLS and MODS was analyzed in this paper, in order to improve the knowledge of clinicians about brucellosis and its complications.

布鲁氏菌病可导致机体多系统病理改变。毛细血管渗漏综合征(CLS)是由不同原因引起的,以低血压、低蛋白血症和全身性水肿为主要表现的临床综合征,病情危重,临床表现复杂,严重时可发生多器官功能障碍综合征(MODS)。由布鲁氏菌病引起的CLS较为罕见,本文对1例布鲁氏菌病并发CLS、MODS患者的诊治过程进行分析,以期提高临床医师对布鲁氏菌病及并发症的认识。.
