Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to compare the sensitivity of diagnostic tests in patients with a preliminary diagnosis of brucellosis.

Methods: We have compared the serological methods, standard tube agglutination test (STA), Coombs Test (CT), Rose Bengal (RBT), and the gel centrifugation test. In patients with a preliminary diagnosis of brucellosis, subjects with a positive test result of RBT has been included in the research and other diagnostic tests STA, CT and Coombs Gel centrifugation tests were performed within the range of same titration.

Results: Total 132 patient’s serums were studied. In RBT positive 92 patients’ serums, negative test results were found in 11 with STA, in 9 with CT and in 6 with gel test. While 35 patients were identified to be positive by using Brucella gel test at 1/5120 titer, no positive test results were seen with STA and CT at the same titer. Generally, CT results were one titration below the gel centrifugation test results.

Conclusion: In conclusion, RBT and STA were not always adequate to determine the diagnosis of brucellosis. Low titer STA results should be supported by tests such as CT or gel centrifugation and the seroconversion must be monitored. Due to giving fast results, gel centrifugation test can be preferred in diagnosis of Brucellosis.

Key words: Brucellosis, gel centrifugation, Coombs test

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, bruselloz ön tanısı konmuş hastalarda tanı testlerinin duyarlılığını karşılaştırılması ve hassasiyetlerinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Serolojik yöntemlerden, Standart Tüp Aglütinasyon Testi, (STA), Coombs testi (CT), Rose Bengal testi (RBT) ve Jel sentrifügasyon testleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Bruselloz ön tanılı hastalarda RBT pozitif çıkan serumlar araştırma kapsamına alınmış ve diğer tanı testlerinden STA, Brucella CT ve Coombs Jel sentrifügasyon testleri aynı titrasyon aralıklarında çalışılmıştır.Bulgular: Rose Bengal testi pozitif çıkan 132 hasta serumu çalışmaya dahil edildi. RBT pozitif 92 hastanın 11’i STA ile, 9’u CT ile, ve 6’sı Jel sentrifugasyon testi ile negatif bulundu. 35 hasta serumu Jel testi ile 1/5120 titrede pozitif bulunurken, CT ve STA ile bu titrede pozitiflik saptanmadı. Genel olarak CT sonuçlarının Jel testi’ ne göre bir titrasyon düşük olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Brusellozis tanısında RBT ve STA her zaman yeterli olmamaktadır. STA’nın düşük titreleri için serokonversiyon takibi veya CT veya Jel sentrifügasyon gibi testlerle laboratuvar tanı desteklenmelidir. Jel sentrifügasyon testinin daha kısa sürede sonuç vermesi nedeniyle Brucella tanısında tercih edilebilir
