متن کاملAssociation between Brucella melitensis DNA and Brucella sp. Antibodies.
Brucella sp. antibodies, despite falling to low levels, can remain measurable after recovery from acute brucellosis (1). Recently, several studies have shown the persistence of Brucella sp. DNA in both chronic brucellosis patients and asymptomatic subjects with a history of brucellosis (2–4, 6). However, to our knowledge, the association between serum antibodies and Brucella sp. DNA has not bee...
