Comparison of the Polymerase Chain Reaction Method with Serological Tests in the Diagnosis of Human Brucellosis

Background: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with different clinical symptoms. Its early diagnosis essential to prevent severe complications. Due the limitations of serological diagnostic methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method has become important in disease. Objectives: Our study aimed evaluate PCR patients suspected brucellosis and compare it tests. Methods: This cross-sectional was performed on 90 febrile features who were examined by an infectious specialist. A total serum samples collected from admitted hospital analyzed (Rose Bengal) Then, each method's results recorded compared other. Results: According test results, 45 negative, positive. among serology-positive patients, all had positive results. However, 40 out serology-negative patients. this study, sensitivity diagnosing human 100%, negative serology 88.9%. Therefore, higher than that tests which 50% study. Conclusions: The can be valuable for serologic
