Comparison of Brucellacpt and Coombswright and Wright in the diagnosis of Brucellosis

Abstract

Brucellosis or brucellosis is considered as one of the most common diseases in humans and livestock, and the disease has a high degree of degradation in the body and can cause many complications in the body in the event of delayed treatment. Hence, rapid and accurate diagnosis of the disease can have many effects on the healing and recovery of patients, so we decided to investigate the accuracy of Brucella captut diagnosis with Coombs-Wright in patients with brucellosis. Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive study and on outpatients who were referred to clinics at Imam Reza and Sina's educational centers with symptoms of brucellosis (fever, sweating, arthralgia, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, or focal diseases). Blood samples were taken from all patients. Patient information including age, sex, response to Coombs, Coombs Wright and Brucella captcher tests, as well as patient response to treatment were entered into a pre-prepared checklist. After obtaining laboratory tests for serological tests, patients were finally included in all patient information, including demographic information, laboratory tests, and analyzed by SPSS v16. Results: This study was performed on 91 patients with brucellosis with a mean age of 34.6 years and 75.8% male. In this study, 84.6% of patients showed a positive Coombs test and 26.4% of patients showed a titre of 1.80. 85.7% of the patients showed positive Coombs Wright test and 29.7% of the patients had a titre of 160.1. In the study of Brucella captcher tests in patients, 98.9% of patients showed a positive test, of which 34.1% had a titre of 1.60% of the test.
