Objective: Aim to investigate the brucella culture characteristics, diagnosis methods, and clinical characteristics, to provide the laboratory with diagnostic methods and prevention and treatment for brucellosis. Methods: Data of 328 cases of brucellosis from 2012 to 2022 was analyzed, retrospectively. The bacterial culture characteristics, the clinical diagnostic methods, and the complications were analyzed respectively. The infection biomarkers of the brucellosis were analyzed by Receiver operating characteristic curve ROC. Results: Among the 328 brucellosis, 78.96 % of cases were men, the median age of the patients was (45.21±13.49) years and the annual incidence in our region was 67/100 000 per year. The diagnostic methods included pathogenic bacteria culture, serological diagnosis, and suspect case were 24.39 %, 47.56 %, and 28.05 %, respectively, sensitivity of combined detection Standard agglutination test (SAT) and the Rose Bengal test (RBT) is 96.2 %. In our work, 80 cases of brucellosis were diagnosed by a bacterial culture which were been identified as Brucella melitensis, blood culture was the main method (78.75 %) and the average positive alarm time was 80.74 (21.6–129) h and all of them were detected in aerobic bottles, followed by synovial fluid, bone marrow, lumbar spine, and joint tissue, puncture fluid and ascites culture which were 6.25 %, 3.75 %, 5.00 %, 5.00 % and 1.25 % respectively. The brucellosis with complications was lumbar spine lesions at 41.46 % cervical spine lesions at 4.60 % and knee joint lesions at 12.8 % and another osteoarthritis. The in-hospital mortality rate of the patients was 0.91 % and all of them were meningitis patients. ROC analysis indicated CRP had high sensitivity and specificity for brucellosis, and when CRP was 1.23mg/ml, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.727 and 0.718 respectively, and the U test also indicated CRP had a significant difference, Z=5.054, p |
