Brucella IgG Antibody (ELISA) ( IO0042 )

Description

Brucella IgG Antibody (ELISA) is a blood test used to detect IgG antibodies against Brucella species, which are bacteria responsible for brucellosis—a chronic infectious disease transmitted from animals to humans. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing past or long-standing infections, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating response to treatment. Brucellosis commonly affects individuals who work closely with livestock, consume unpasteurized dairy products, or live in endemic regions. Symptoms may include prolonged fever, joint pain, fatigue, sweating, muscle aches, and weakness, which often resemble other febrile illnesses.

The presence of Brucella IgG antibodies indicates previous exposure or chronic infection rather than an acute phase. This test plays a crucial role when symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when initial screening tests are inconclusive. It is also helpful in follow-up testing after treatment to assess immune response. Early and accurate detection of brucellosis helps prevent complications such as arthritis, endocarditis, neurological involvement, and reproductive issues. Brucella IgG Antibody testing supports timely diagnosis, appropriate medical management, and long-term patient care. The test is suitable for adults and children and requires no special preparation, making it a convenient and reliable tool in infectious disease diagnosis.
