Abstract:

Background: Brucellosis is one of the endemic and a Zoonotic disease of the Iran. Science the rapid diagnosis and quick treatment are very important, selection of a sensitive and specific test solving this problem is of a great importance. The main aim of this study is comparison of routine serologic test with standard Elisa test. Materials and methods: In this survey, 176 suspected patients with conformed clinical signs, were selected and them routine diagnostic test like Wright (rapid), Standard tube agglutination (STA), Coombs Wright test and selective and quantitative Elisa test was performed for all sample referred to diagnostic laboratory. Findings: out of 176 sample, 92 (52.27%) were male and 84 (47.73%) female. On performing Wright (rapid), standard tube agglutination (STA), Coombs Wright and Elisa, 45 (25.57%), 49 (27.84%), 58 (32.95%) and 72 (40.91%) sample were positive respectively. The range of age distribution was 15-65 years. The geographical distribution of population is 72.4% rural and 27.6% of urban category. The sensitivity of above mentioned test as compare to Elisa was 62.5, 68.0 and 80.0 percent respectively with 100% of specificity for all. Conclusions: The Elisa posses the highest diagnostic value as compare to other routinely performed tests. After Elisa other test namely Coombs Wright, standard tube agglutination and Wright (rapid) respectively. Have the highest diagnostic value with consideration to above findings, it is obvious that due to ability to find quantitative value, determination of antibody classis and stage of disease, Elisa is the best method of choice in diagnosis of brucellosis.

ELISA 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...

Comparison of Wright Agglutination Test and ELISA in Diagnosis of Brucellosis

Abstract Background and Objective: In our country, the Wright test routinely is used for diagnosing brucellosis. Because of its low sensitivity, the range of false-negative results is high. Therefore, we aimed at comparing Wright and ELISA in the people suspected brucellosis. Material and Methods: The results of Wright, 2ME, Coombs Wright tests were compared with Anti-Brucella IgG, Anti-Bru...
