Comparison of the Diagnostic Value of the Standard Tube Agglutination Test and the ELISA IgG and IgM in Patients with Brucellosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and Aims: Brucellosis is endemic in Turkey. Since it affects many organs and the symptoms are non-specific, the diagnosis by clinical findings is difficult and may be easily missed. Many serological tests have been used for the diagnosis of human brucellosis. This study compared the diagnostic value of the Brucella standard tube agglutination test (SAT) with that of ELISA (Brucella specific IgG and IgM) tests in patients with Brucella bacteremia.
