It causes variety of hematological abnormalities some of which are frequent and causes difficulties in diagnosis.ObjectiveTo find hematological abnormalities of brucellosis in hospitalized patients in an endemic area.Materials and MethodsA retrospective review of patients' medical records who were admitted to four university and general hospitals during 8 years was done. Age, sex, clinical findings, laboratory tests including CBC, platelet count, Erythrocytic Sedimentation Rate (ESR), C-Reactive Protein, wright test were assessed.
