Rare Presentation of Brucellosis

Yasar Albushra Abdul Rahiem Ahmed

Thrombocytopenic purpura associated with brucellosis has been rarely reported in the world literature. We describe a case of acute brucellosis in an 33-year old male, who presented with fever, purpuric skin lesions and epistaxis. Initial laboratory investigations revealed isolated thrombocytopenia with platelet count of 5,000/mm3 and positive serology for Brucella. Thrombocytopenia resolved promptly with proper antibiotics on 8th day of treatment. Brucellosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenic purpura in Brucella-endemic areas.
