Evaluation of liver and spleen stiffness measurement with shear wave elastography in brucellosis.

Background: Human brucellosis, which is endemic in the eastern region of Turkey, infects the reticulo-endothelial system. Acute brucellosis may cause hepatomegaly or splenomegaly.

Aims: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the point shear wave elastography (pSWE) method in identifying and detecting liver and spleen stiffness in acute brucellosis.
