Pancytopenia and other haematological findings in brucellosis.
The haematological findings in 212 patients with brucellosis are presented, analysed, and the possible underlying pathogeneses discussed. Pancytopenia and other haematological abnormalities were frequently found among the clinical features. As brucellosis is common in our region, and pancytopenia is a common presentation, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of all those clinical conditions leading to pancytopenia.
