Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonosis still endemic to a wide geographic area, including Turkey. It is characterized by multisystem involvement resulting in a variety of clinical signs and can also exhibit considerable variation in hematological terms. It can produce a variety of hematological manifestations, from pancytopenia to disseminated intravascular coagulation. Brucellosis must be considered, especially in endemic regions, in patients with symptoms suggesting infectious disease, undergoing investigation to identify the cause of thrombocytopenia. We present a case of brucellosis presenting with severe thrombocytopenia and recovering completely with treatment.
