Aspects of human brucellosis P . G . MANN

چکیده
Human brucellosis still presents difficulties in diagnosis and prevention. Townspeople may be infected by drinking raw milk while on holiday. Laboratory tests are still unsatisfactory as indicators of clinically active disease. High titre antibodies may be found without overt symptoms, particularly in persons occupationally exposed to repeated infection. In contrast, cases have been recorded in which no antibody appeared despite a positive blood culture. A preliminary study of leukocyte migration inhibition suggests that this may prove usefil in detecting disease associated with low or absent antibodies, but is not likely to provide an infallible guide to clinical activity.

متن کاملInterleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis
Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...
