Overview

There is no specific diagnostic criteria for Brucellosis, diagnosis is based on history of potential exposure, presentation consistent with the disease, supporting laboratory findings.

Diagnostic Criteria

There is no specific diagnostic criteria for Brucellosis, diagnosis is based on:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

  • History of potential exposure
  • Presentation consistent with the disease
  • Supporting laboratory findings
Diagnosis of brucellosis
History of potential exposure
  • Living or travelling to Brucellosis endemic countries
  • Consuming unpasteurized dairy products or raw meat products
  • Unsafe hunting practices
  • Occupational risks such as slaughther house workers, meat-packing employees, and veterinarian
presentation consistent with the disease An illness characterized by acute or insidious onset of fever and one or more of the following:
Supporting laboratory findings Definitive:
  • Culture and identification of Brucella spp. from clinical specimens
  • Evidence of a fourfold or greater rise in Brucella antibody titer between acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens obtained greater than or equal to 2 weeks apart

Presumptive:

  • Brucella total antibody titer of greater than or equal to 160 by standard tube agglutination test (SAT) or Brucella microagglutination test (BMAT) in one or more serum specimens obtained after onset of symptoms
  • Detection of Brucella DNA in a clinical specimen by PCR assay

Other non-specific findings may include:

Relapse

Relapse
  • Relapse is usually suspected in patients with established diagnosis of Brucellosis, when general well being and body weight(loss of body weight) are affected.[1]
  • Pcr assay of pheripheral blood is recommended in diagnosis of relapse.[11][12]

Chronic Brucellosis

Chronic Brucellosis
  • Chronic Brucellosis is diagnosis of exclusion. Chronic Brucellosis, should be considered in patients who present with chronic complains of fatigue, arthralgia, malaise, myalgia, and difficulty in vision for more then one year after established diagnosis of brucellosis.[1]
  • Pcr assay of pheripheral blood is recommended in diagnosis of Chronic Brucellosis.[11][12]
