Abstract
Objective: To analyse epidemiological, clinical characteristics and laboratory examination results of 245 occupational brucellosis form 2008 to 2018, which providing theoretical basis for prevention and control of occupational brucellosis. Methods: Based on the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System, a database of occupational brucellosis cases in HunlunBuir from January 2008 to July 2018 was established. The Epidemiological characteristics, Clinical manifestation, laboratory examination of 245 occupational brucellosis and 359 without occupational brucellosis were comparatively analyzed about the same period. Results: Among the 245 patients, 219 were males, 254 in 359, malese were significantly higher than control group (χ(2)=21.331, P<0.05) . Fever, fatigue, hyperhidrosis and splenomegaly are common in patients with occupational brucellosis and non occupational brucellosis. Arthralgia (54.3%/44.8%) and CRP (81.2%/71.3%) were significantly also higher than control group (χ(2)=5.193, P<0.05; χ(2)=7.704, P<0.05) Fever, hyperhidrosis, fatigue and splenomegaly were common clinical manifestation and signs in the two groups. Brucellosis can cause a variety of complications, including osteoarticular hematological system and hepatic involvement, some patients with multiple system damage. Conclusion: The incidence of occupational brucellosis in HulunBuir is concentrated in agriculture and animal husbandry. Veterinarians are the main occupational groups, Occupational health interventions should be strengthened for key occupational hazards, regular occupational health examination, avoid chronic brucellosis and protect the health of key occupational groups.
