Abstract: Two brucellosis patients with rare complications are presented in this report. In case 1, abdominal CT showed two liver abscesses with the maximum diameter>5.0 cm, no puncture and drainage were given. After treatment with anti brucellosis drugs, the abscess lesions disappeared completely. Case 2 had pancytopenia, the platelet count was reduced to 14×10 9/L. After anti brucellosis drug treatment the peripheral blood routine returned to normal. These two cases of rare complications of brucellosis suggests that early identification, diagnosis and treatment can improve the clinical outcomes of the patients.
