  • Title: Brucellosis: a rare cause of febrile neutropenia in acute myeloblastic leukemia.
    Author: Ozbalci D, Ergene U, Cetin CB.
    Journal: Med Oncol; 2011 Mar; 28(1):255-7. PubMed ID: 20169426.
    Abstract:
    Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease and endemically seen in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and continental America. Febrile neutropenia related to Brucellosis has been reported only in a few cases. Brucella was cultured from the bone marrow of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with symptoms of fever and fatigue and later diagnosed as acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). The patient was treated for both AML and Brucellosis without any problems and discharged from the hospital after scheduling her follow-up visits. Brucellosis might be considered in the etiology of febrile neutropenia in endemic regions and must be treated effectively to prevent possible morbidity and mortality during or after chemotherapy.
