Brucella anthropi bacteremia in an immunocompromised patient due to severe burn infection

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a clinical case of Brucella anthropi bacteremia associated with a central line catheter in an immunocompetent patient with a long hospital stay owing to complications from a burn injury. This is a man in his 20s who was admitted several days after being burned with oil (chicken fat) on the chest, upper limbs, genital area, and thighs, affecting 12% of the total body surface. The patient underwent various surgical procedures and subsequent skin grafting. The patient’s progress was good after infection associated with the central venous catheter was treated, and the lesions were covered.
