We report a patient with pancytopenia which is an unusual manifestation and a rare hematologic complication of acute brucellosis. A 29-year-old female patient was hospitalized with fever and pancytopenia. Brucella standard tube agglutination test was found to be positive and cultures from blood yielded growth of Brucella melitensis. The patient completely recovered by the sixth week following combined antibacterial treatment of doxycycline and streptomycine. Brucella should be considered as an uncommon cause of pancytopenia and should be treated immediately.
