2-mercaptoethanol Brucella agglutination test: usefulness for predicting recovery from brucellosis.
Ninety-two patients with brucellosis were studied for 18 months, and 15 to 29 sera from each patient were tested by the standard tube brucella agglutination test and by the 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) brucella agglutination test. The standard tube test remained positive (greaterr than or equal to 160) for 1.5 years in 44 of the 92 patients (48%), despite adequate antibiotic treatment. The 2ME titer...
متن کاملELISA Cut-off Point for the Diagnosis of Human Brucellosis; a Comparison with Serum Agglutination Test
Background: Brucellosis is a world-wide disease, which has a diverse clinical manifestation, and its diagnosis has to be proven by laboratory data. Serum agglutination test (SAT) is the most-widely used test for diagnosing brucellosis. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also determine specific antibody classes against brucella. It is a sensitive, simple and rapid test, which coul...
متن کاملMean platelet volume in brucellosis: correlation between brucella standard serum agglutination test results, platelet count, and C-reactive protein.
BACKGROUND Brucellosis, a zoonotic infection, was most widely diagnosed by the Brucella standard serum agglutination test (SAT). No previous publication has demonstrated a correlation between the degree of Brucella SAT agglutination positivity and the severity of brucellosis infection. OBJECTIVE To contribute to the clarification of the relationship between patelets and brucellosis. It is als...
متن کاملEvaluation of the card test for diagnosis of human brucellosis.
The relative efficacy of the card test in the diagnosis of human brucellosis was evaluated by comparison with four other tests: the standard tube agglutination test, centrifugation agglutination test, 2-mercaptoethanol degradation technique, and 2-mercaptoethanol centrifugation agglutination test. A total of 1,701 serum specimens from persons with various degrees of potential exposure to brucel...
متن کاملCanine Brucellosis: Brucella canis
Canine brucellosis, caused by Brucella canis, is an important cause of reproductive failure, particularly in kennels. This organism causes abortions, stillbirths, epididymitis, orchitis and sperm abnormalities in dogs. Although dogs that have been spayed or neutered do not have reproductive signs, they occasionally develop other conditions such as ocular disease and discospondylitis. B. canis c...
