Abstract:We explored the clinical characteristics of brucellosis in children and facilitated timely diagnosis and treatment. Retrospective analysis of 47 cases of brucellosis in children admitted to our hospital from 2011 to 2017 were conducted to analyze its epidemiology, clinical manifestation and curative effect. The 47 cases of children were from rural areas, and people in the family were engaged in sheep or cattle aquaculture, trafficking, slaughter, and meat processing. Most children (more than 90%) have the family agglomeration of brucellosis. The clinical manifestations were mainly fever, lower extremity muscle, joint pain, mild fatigue. Men can be accompanied by testicular sheath effusion. Rifampicin combined with doxocycline or compound sulfamethoxazole was effective for treatment. Understanding of the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in children could help to improve the diagnostic rate, and the reasonable and standard combined antimicrobial treatment. No case of clinical drug resistance was reported.
