Febrile neutropenia related to Brucellosis has been reported only in a few cases. Brucella was cultured from the bone morrow 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. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.EnglishAdultAntineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy ProtocolsBrucellosisCytarabineDiagnosis, DifferentialFemaleHumansIdarubicinLeukemia, Myeloid, AcuteNeutropeniaPrognosisRemission Inductionalanine aminotransferaseamphotericin Bbilirubincaspofungincilastatinciprofloxacincotrimoxazolecytarabinedoxycyclinegamma glutamyltransferasegentamicinidarubicinimipenemrifampicinteicoplaninacute myeloblastic leukemiaadultagglutination testalanine aminotransferase blood levelanamnesisarticlebilirubin blood levelbone marrow biopsybone marrow cultureBrucellabrucellosiscase reportdrug hypersensitivitydrug substitutiondrug withdrawalfatiguefebrile neutropeniafemalefevergamma glutamyl transferase blood levelhumanhuman tissuemucosa inflammationneutrophil countpriority journalremissionside effectsymptomatologyBrucellosis: A rare cause of febrile neutropenia in acute myeloblastic leukemiaArticle10.1007/s12032-010-9440-4
