Introduction: Brucellosis is an infectious disease that can be acquired through direct contact with infected animals, ingestion of raw milk and dairy products from infected animals and / or through the inhalation of infectious droplets. They can involve other systems, especially reticuloendothelial system, resulting in different clinical pictures. The most common complaints are fever, arthralgia and sweating. While anemia and thrombocytopenia are common in patients with brucellosis, pancytopenia is a rare complication. Case Report: A 13-year-old girl referred to our hospital from another hospital because of fever, abdominal pain and pancytopenia in blood tests. Case history included goat, dog, cow contact and consumption of cheese from raw milk. Brucella Immuncapture (tube + commbs) was detected as 1/5120 titer. Brucellosis treatment was planned to be completed in 6 weeks. Discussion and Conclusion: When investigating the etiology of pancytopenia in areas where brucellosis is endemic, like our country, it should be kept in mind that acute brucellosis may cause pancytopenia together with other reasons.
