Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia - Rare Complication of Brucellosis in a Saudi Woman: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia are rare complications of brucellosis; only a few cases have been reported in the literature. While pancytopenia is common and was reported in Saudi Arabia, the description of autoimmune hemolytic anemia or immune thrombocytopenia has not yet been reported in the kingdom. Hematological complication usually requires supportive treatment, and it is expected to improve with the initiation of antimicrobial therapy for brucellosis.

Herein, we report a challenging case of a young man who presented with recurrent pleural effusion and hepatic vein thrombosis and a recent history of papilledema with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
