The results of seven serologic tests for diagnosis of human brucellosis were evaluated. The titrated Rose Bengal test, microagglutination test, microtiter-adapted Coombs test, and immunocapture-agglutination test (Brucellacapt) were positive for all sera from patients with acute brucellosis. The immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, and IgA commercial enzyme immunoassays (ELISAs) failed to show specific antibodies in 3 patients, 10 patients, and 1 patient, respectively. The sensitivity of ELISA is not higher than that of conventional tests.
对用于诊断人类布鲁氏菌病的七种血清学检测结果进行了评估。滴定玫瑰红试验、微量凝集试验、微量滴定改良库姆斯试验和免疫捕获凝集试验(Brucellacapt)对所有急性布鲁氏菌病患者的血清均呈阳性。免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、IgM和IgA商业酶免疫测定法(ELISA)分别在3例、10例和1例患者中未显示出特异性抗体。ELISA的敏感性不高于传统检测方法。
