Brucellosis was diagnosed in two polytransfused, thalassaemic patients who had received blood containing brucella agglutinins from an asymptomatic donor. In one of the patients the onset of the disease simulated infectious mononucleosis. Despite the fact that both cases were splenetomized, the course of illness was not life threatening. However, a tendency for recurrence of the infection and persistence of high brucella agglutinin titres were noted.
两名接受多次输血的地中海贫血患者被诊断出患有布鲁氏菌病，他们接受了来自一名无症状献血者的含有布鲁氏菌凝集素的血液。其中一名患者疾病的发作类似于传染性单核细胞增多症。尽管两名患者都进行了脾切除术，但病程并未危及生命。然而，观察到有感染复发的趋势以及布鲁氏菌凝集素高滴度持续存在。
