About this service

The Brucella Antibodies (IgG and IgM) test is an immunoserological test that measures the level and presence of two main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins) produced by the immune system against Brucella bacteria, the cause of brucellosis. Measuring both IgM (indicating a recent infection) and IgG (indicating a past or chronic infection) helps determine the stage and history of the infection.

What is included?

✓Accurate immunological analysis to measure the levels of antibodies (IgG and IgM) against Brucella bacteria in blood serum.
✓Consult an infectious disease or internal medicine specialist to interpret the results.
✓Personal support services from Halak.

Conditions and notices

Fasting is not required
Fasting is not required, and the sample can be taken at any time.
A normal venous blood sample is drawn.
If the disease is suspected, the doctor may request a repeat test after 2-4 weeks to observe the increase in titer (quantity) that confirms the diagnosis.
The doctor should be informed of any history of potential exposure to animals or unpasteurized animal products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• How do IgM and IgG results help in diagnosis?

An elevated IgM level typically indicates an acute infection, whereas an elevated IgG level combined with a low IgM suggests a chronic or previous infection.

• What symptoms might suggest a need for this test?

Symptoms include unexplained intermittent fever (waves of fever), chills, profuse night sweats, and significant muscle and joint pain.

• Is fasting required for the Brucella antibodies test?

No, fasting is not required for this laboratory blood test.

• How is this test used to monitor treatment progress?

A decrease in antibody levels indicates a successful response to treatment, whereas levels that stay high or increase may suggest a relapse or untreated chronic infection.

• Which occupations are recommended to undergo the Brucella test?

The test is recommended for individuals whose work involves direct contact with animals or their products, such as livestock breeders, farmers, butchers, veterinarians, and workers in slaughterhouses or dairy plants.

• When is this test used for bone or heart infections?

This test may be requested to investigate a rare bacterial cause in patients with unexplained bone infections or inflammation of the heart valves (endocarditis).
