Brucella Antibodies IgG Antibody, Serum

This test focuses on identifying IgG antibodies related to Brucella abortus, a bacteria known to cause brucellosis. Detecting these antibodies helps confirm or rule out a Brucella infection in your body, aiding in timely treatment and management.

This test is done primarily:

• To diagnose IgG antibodies linked to Brucella abortus bacteria
• To confirm or rule out brucellosis, an infectious disease caused by Brucella species

To guide appropriate treatment for brucellosis and prevent complications

This test is recommended:

• If you exhibit symptoms like fever, joint pain, fatigue, and muscle pain
• If you have been exposed to contaminated animal products
• If you work with animals or in laboratories handling Brucella species
• To monitor the effectiveness of brucellosis treatment

• Abnormal results may indicate an active or previous Brucella infection.
• Further testing may be required for confirmation.
• Follow up with your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

During the test:

• A small blood sample is collected from your arm using a needle.
• The process is quick and relatively painless.
• After collection, the sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Before the test:

• No special preparations are usually needed.
• Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.
• Be prepared for a blood draw.

Consult your healthcare provider for specific requirements.

Other tests may include:

• Blood Culture: To isolate and identify Brucella bacteria from blood samples.
• PCR Test: To detect genetic material of Brucella bacteria in your blood or tissues.
• Complete Blood Count (CBC): To check for signs of infection or inflammation in your body.

Serum Brucella IgG Test or Brucellosis Antibody Detection

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by various species of the Brucella bacteria. It commonly affects animals but can spread to humans through contact with infected animals or ingestion of contaminated animal products. Its symptoms include fever, joint pain, fatigue, and muscle pain. Early diagnosis through tests like Brucella IgG Antibody by EIA in Serum is crucial for prompt treatment.
