The patient completely recovered following aggressive therapy with plasmapharesis, high-dose corticosteroids and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.Since measurement of ADAMTS13 activity and neutralizing antibodies is now available, and none of the reported cases of brucellosis with thrombotic microangiopathy (including the present report) were tested, for better understanding of this rare association, we recommend this work-up in future cases. This evidence concerns the gene ADAMTS13 and brucellosis.
