    Brucellosis frequently causes hematologic issues like anemia and lymphopenia. Bleeding complications in brucellosis patients are strongly linked to clotting abnormalities, impacting fibrinogen levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Hematologic abnormalities are common but not fully characterized in brucellosis patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively investigate hematologic abnormalities in patients with brucellosis.
    • To determine the association between hematologic changes and clinical complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 38 brucellosis patients.
    • Detailed hematologic parameter analysis, including complete blood counts and coagulation profiles.
    • Correlation analysis between hematologic findings and clinical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • High prevalence of anemia (74%), leukopenia (45%), lymphopenia (63%), and thrombocytopenia (39.5%).

  • Twenty-one percent of patients experienced pancytopenia, often with splenomegaly.
  • Bleeding complications (26%) were significantly associated with clotting abnormalities and altered fibrinogen levels.

    • Conclusions:

    • Brucellosis commonly induces significant hematologic abnormalities.
    • Clotting derangements, particularly thrombocytopenia and low fibrinogen, predict bleeding risk.
    • Lymphopenia correlates with disease severity, including bleeding and hepatic involvement.
