Abstract

Brucellosis sepsis was treated by xenosorption involving the porcine spleen. Compared to standard therapy ineffective in protracted sepsis, the biosorption provided good results leading to a rapid arrest of the infectious process and eventual elimination of the organisms. As the data on related experience are not available in the literature, the above technique of brucellosis treatment is believed fresh.
