Brucella is a pathogen of cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals. Humans are very susceptible to Brucella, and the clinical manifestations are intermittent fever, so it is also called wave heat. After the disease, lectin, precipitin, opsonin, complement-binding antibody, and blood antibody appear in the body fluid, so it is often diagnosed by serological methods. Basic Information Specialist classification: Infectious disease inspection and classification: pathogenic microorganism inspection Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Below normal indicates no infection with Brucella virus.

Clinical significance >1:50 is positive, and the coincidence rate of brucellosis is 93.88%. High results may be diseases: Brucellosis, Brucella arthritis, Brucella erythema results may be disease: Brucellosis, Brucella arthritis, Brucella erythema 1. <1:25:1:25 to 1:50 is suspicious. 2. 1:100 is weakly positive. 3. Positive from 1:200 to 1:400. 4, ≥ 1:800 is strongly positive. Inspection process The serum to be tested was diluted 1:25 with physiological saline and then serially diluted to 1:800. Each tube was 0.5 ml, and each tube was separately added with 0.5 ml of diagnostic bacterial solution (1 billion/ml) and mixed. The results were observed after 37 to 20 hours in a 37 ° C water bath.
