The level of the acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein was determined in the sera of patients with brucellosis who had arthritic involvement (17 patients) as well as in those who had no arthritis (28 patients). The level was also determined in a group of age-matched controls (31 subjects). Patients with brucellosis had significantly higher levels than controls. Patients without arthritis showed a greater elevation than those with joint involvement. C-reactive protein assay is a helpful adjunct in the diagnosis, and in monitoring the treatment, of patients with brucellosis.
对患有关节炎的布鲁氏菌病患者（17例）以及未患关节炎的布鲁氏菌病患者（28例）的血清进行了急性期反应物C反应蛋白水平测定。还对一组年龄匹配的对照者（31名受试者）进行了该水平测定。布鲁氏菌病患者的C反应蛋白水平显著高于对照者。未患关节炎的患者C反应蛋白水平升高幅度大于有关节受累的患者。C反应蛋白检测有助于布鲁氏菌病患者的诊断及治疗监测。
