Abstract
We diagnosed active brucellosis infection at the tenth week of gestation in a woman with a twin pregnancy. Antimicrobial therapy with rifampicin was started at 900 mg/day and continued for six weeks. Healthy twins were delivered at the 38th week of gestation. Early and adequate treatment of maternal brucella infection might have prevented the early detrimental consequences of the disease.
