Presented by
Mahmoud Aboud
Etiology
• Brucella:
Abortus(Cattle),Melitensis
(Sheep,Goat)Suis(Swin),

Epidemiology
• Unpasteurized milk
• Occupational events
Pathogenesis
• Inoculation in skin ,Eye
(Through abrasion or
conjunctiva)
• Inhalation
(Infected aerosol)
• Ingestion
(Meat, Dairy products)
Risk of infection depends
1. Nutritional status
2. Immune status
3. Rout of inoculum
4. Species of brucella
Pathogenesis
• Survive& Replicate within phagocytes&Monocytes
• Infected macrophages localized within reticuloendothelial
system(Granuloma formation in spleen,liver,bone
marrow)
Clinical manifestation
Triad: Fever, Arthralgia/Arthritis,Hepatosplenomegaly
• + History of animal or food
exposure
• Acute or insidious
symptoms(2-4 wk after
inoculation)

• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Rash
• Night sweets
• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Cough
• Vomiting
• Pharyngitis
• Fever
• Hepatosplenomegally
• Arthralgia/Arthritis
Sacroiliac,Hip,Ankle,
Diagnosis
• WBC Normal or low
• + History of animal or food exposure
• Recovering organisms (blood’ bone
marrow’..)
• Serum agglutination test: >1/160
(Antibody against Abortus ,Melitensis, Suis, but not Canis)
• 2ME
• False positive SAT
Yersinia entrocolitica
Vibrio cholerae
Francislla tularensis
• False negative SAT
Prozen effect
Differential diagnosis
• Car-Scratch disease
• Typhoid fever
• TB
• Fungal infections
Treatment
> or = 9 years old

+
Rifampin 15-20 mg/kg/D PO 45
days
Meningitis,Osteomyelitis,Endocarditis:
Doxy + Genta +/- Rifampin
calcified brucellomas in both kidneys calcified brucellomas in the spleen
Salmonellae Infections
M.Karimi
Etiology
Salmonellae
(G- ‘Facultative’Bacilli)
• Antigens:

Water’ Food(beef’poultry’milk’egg’..)
Salmonella Gastroentritis (Nontyphoidal)
Epidemiology

• Source of infection: Poultry’eggs’
egg product ’meats’ pet reptile
• Transmission: Carrier (Human)
• Incubation period: 6-72 hr. (usually less than 24
hr.)
• Peak incidence: Late summer &Early fall
Pathogenesis
• Ingestion
• Attached to “M” cells
• Phagocytosed by macrophages
• Replication
• Bacteremia
Clinical manifestations
• Self limited diseases: 3-7 days
• Onset: Abrupt
• Nausea’ Vomiting’ Crampy abdominal
pain
• Loose watery stool
• Malaise’ headache’ chills
• Fever 38-38.9 c (70%) for 48 hour
At risk of complications
• Impaired immune function(T-Cell)
• HIV infection
• Organ transplantation
• Lymphoproliferative diseases
• Hemoglobinopathies
(Sickle cell disease’..)
• CGD
• Malaria
• Very old or very young
Complications
• Dehydration’Shock
• Localized infection:
Pneumonia
Empyema
Abscesses
Osteomyelitis
Septic arthritis
Postinfectious arthritis
Pyelonephritis
meningitis
Diagnosis
• Cultures (Stool’ Blood’ Urine’ Bone
marrow’ CSF’…)
Treatment
• Correction of shock’ dehydration’…
• Antibiotics:
1-Infants < 3 mo.
2-Child with immunodeficiency’ Malnutrition
Malignancy’ Intravascular catheter or
other foreign material
Treatment
• Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime
Septicemia’ Enteric fever’ Metastatic site of infection
• Amoxicillin
• Co-trimaxozole
• Fluroqinolones
• Chloramphenicol
Typhoid fever
Typhoid fever
• In US:400 Cases per year &Usually under
20 y/o
• Worldwide:16 million cases per year and
600’000 death
• Infected only human
Pathogenesis
• Invasions on upper small intestine
• Monocyte phagocyte
• Monocyte carry organism from blood to
other RES
• Organism proliferation
• Lymph node’ liver & spleen inflammation
• Secondary septicemia
Salmonella Typhi
Clinical manifestation
• Infant:
mild GE to severe septicemia without
diarrhea
Fever’ hepatomegaly ’ jaundice’ anorexia’
lethargy’ weight loss
Clinical manifestation
• Child:
High fever’ malaise ’lethargy’ myalgia’ headache’ rash’
Hepatomegaly’ abdominal pain and tenderness’
diarrhea(50%)’ constipation
obtunded ’delirium’ confusion ’splenomegaly’
Macular (Rose spot) or Maculopapolar rash(30%)
High T with low PR
(Typically each 1 degree above 38.3° C Rise PR 10/min)
