Improved Early Detection of Focal Brucellosis Complications with Anti- Brucella IgG

Abstract

To evaluate the associations of inflammatory factors and serological test results with complicated brucellosis, we recruited 285 patients with a diagnosis of brucellosis between May 2016 and September 2019. The patients were subsequently classified into two groups according to the presence of complications. We collected demographic and clinical information and routine laboratory test results in addition to anti- Brucella IgG and IgM levels. Anti- Brucella IgG and IgM were uniformly tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in this study.
