Brucellosis is still an important infectious disease with high morbidity in Turkey. Anemia and trombocytopenia are the most
common complications, but pancytopenia is a rare complication in chronic cases. A seventeen year-old male patient applied

was established by blood culture and brucella tube agglutination test (1/320). The patient was treated with streptomycin 1
gr/day and doxiciclyne 200 mg/day for six weeks. In the course of the disease, fever decreased in 10th day and pancytopenia
