Brucella bloodstream infection mimicking systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a pediatric case report
It is crucial to emphasize that in cases of brucellosis infection, the identification of sJIA and brucellosis is of vital significance. Brucella can be isolated and cultured from blood and bone marrow within approximately two weeks, serving as the definitive indicator for diagnosing Brucella bloodstream infection. By reporting this case, we aim to share clinical experience, provide a more accurate and expedited diagnosis, as well as treatment for future patients encountering similar circumstances.
