Evaluation of an immunocapture-agglutination test (Brucellacapt) for serodiagnosis of human brucellosis.
We evaluated the validity and the usefulness of a new test for the diagnosis of human brucellosis based on an immunocapture-agglutination technique. A total of 315 sera from 82 patients with a diagnosis of brucellosis, 157 sera from patients in whom brucellosis was suspected but not confirmed, and 412 sera from people living in rural areas with endemic brucellosis were studied. The seroagglutin...
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 کاملEvaluation of smooth lipopolysaccharide based latex agglutination test in serodiagnosis of brucellosis
In this study, sLPS antigen coated latex bead was prepared and their evaluation was done along with RBPT, commonly employed for the serodiagnosis of brucellosis. sLPS was extracted from Brucella abortus S99 and coated on polystyrene latex beads in a phosphate buffer saline coating buffer. A total of 200 samples were collected from unorganized dairy farm and tested with RBPT and sLPS based latex...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Agglutination Test in the Diagnosis of Pediatric Brucellosis
Background & Aims: Brucellosis is a public health problem in many developing countries, including Iran. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical manifestations and positive serum agglutination test (SAT) or Wright test. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of SAT in pediatric Brucellosis. Methods: In this prospective study, during 2 years, 52 patients with clinical feat...
متن کاملEvaluation of ELISA and Brucellacapt tests for diagnosis of human Brucellosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in Iran and human brucellosis is endemic in all parts of the country. Because of the difficulty in the diagnosis of brucellosis, particularly in endemic areas, the use of new and feasible diagnostic tests seem to be of great importance for resolving the diagnostic obstacles. We evaluated the usefulness of a new se...
