Abstract
ABSTRACT
PANBIO
Brucella
immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were assessed against
Brucella
standard agglutination tube and Coombs tests. The sensitivities of ELISA IgG and IgM were 91% and 100%, respectively, while the specificity was 100% for both. These ELISAs are simple, rapid, and reliable for the diagnosis of human brucellosis.
