Brusellosis is a zoonotic infection that is considered endemic in Turkey and is also a public health problem. This study aims to assess the demographic/epidemiological, clinical, laboratory characteristics, complications and treatments of brusellosis observed in our clinic. In this study, the characteristics of the events followed in our clinic between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2018 were examined retrospectively. Identifying data are indicated as the number and percentage (%) Categorical variables were analyzed using the ki-quare test, numerical variables using the Student-T test. In total, 159 (43.56) of the patients with bruselosis were female and 206 (56.44) male. The average age of patients was 45.9±14.51 (18-82). The most common time of application was the summer season with 137 (37.5 percent). The most common of the disease was 252 (69) infectious pathways in the history of dealing with the animal. Of the cases, 168 (46%) were acute, 96 (26.3) subacute, 101 (27.7) chronic brusellosis. The most common complaint in patients was 302 (82.7%) insufficiency and higher in acute brusellosis (0.0015). Fifty-three (33.3 percent) men, 114 (55.3 percent) women with anemia were found higher (p=0.0283) in women. In patients, 7.9 percent were locopene, 16.2 percent were lococytosis, 9.6 percent trombocytopene, 4.1 percent neutropene, 9 percent neutrophil, and 12 percent lymphomonosite. Wright aglutination test 26 (7.1%), Brusella immuncapture aglutination test was examined in 361 patients and found positive in all. In 172 (47.1 percent) of patients, the complication developed and the most common 58 (15.9 percent) spondylodiskitis was detected. The number of cases is 61. In the 8th, the relaps evolved. The result should be among the pre-diagnoses of brusellosis in patients who apply with complaints such as impotence, joint pain and fever due to the endemicity of bruselosis in our country and the widespread cultivation in our region. Patients should also be monitored from the point of view.
