Prevalence of Brucella spp in humans
OBJECTIVE: to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella spp in humans. METHOD: this is an observational study, developed with 455 individuals between 18 and 64 years old, who use the Estratégia de Saúde da Família (Brazil's family health strategy). The serum samples of volunteers underwent buffe...

description | OBJECTIVE: to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella spp in humans. METHOD: this is an observational study, developed with 455 individuals between 18 and 64 years old, who use the Estratégia de Saúde da Família (Brazil's family health strategy). The serum samples of volunteers underwent buffered acid antigen tests, such as screening, agar gel immunodiffusion and slow seroagglutination test in tubes and 2-Mercaptoethanol. RESULTS: among the samples, 1.98% has responded to buffered-acid antigen, 2.85% to agar gel immunodiffusion test and 1.54% to the slow seroagglutination tests on tubes/2-Mercaptoethanol. The prevalence of Brucella spp was 4.4%, represented by the last two tests. CONCLUSION: the results of this research suggest that the studied population is exposed to Brucella spp infection. |
