Abstract:
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease. Severe refractory thrombocytopenia caused by brucellosis is very rare and easily misdiagnosed. We reported a 5-year-old girl who developed severe refractory thrombocytopenia secondary to brucellosis. The first-line treatment including corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin did not elevate her platelets, but eltrombopag worked well and her platelet count recovered rapidly.
