There are reports that the neglected zoonotic tropical disease brucellosis is reemerging today. Serological tests are being widely used in the diagnosis of brucellosis. In the present study, we performed a standard agglutination test (SAT) on 1348 suspected cases of brucellosis during the period of four years from April 2018 to March 2022. We noticed an increase in seropositivity from 2.6% in the year 2018-19 to 7.4% in the year 2021-22. We also noticed a spike in seropositivity in the years 2019-20 (12.5%). Our study shows the recent trend in seropositivity of the disease in Chandigarh and, hence, can be a meaningful addition to the existing serological diagnostic data related to brucellosis.
有报告称，被忽视的人畜共患热带疾病布鲁氏菌病如今正在重新出现。血清学检测正广泛用于布鲁氏菌病的诊断。在本研究中，我们在2018年4月至2022年3月的四年期间，对1348例疑似布鲁氏菌病病例进行了标准凝集试验（SAT）。我们注意到血清阳性率从2018 - 2019年的2.6%上升到2021 - 2022年的7.4%。我们还注意到2019 - 2020年血清阳性率出现了峰值（12.5%）。我们的研究显示了钱德里加尔该疾病血清阳性率的近期趋势，因此，可以为现有的与布鲁氏菌病相关的血清学诊断数据增添有意义的内容。
