Brucella Antibody IgG

About This Package

**Brucella antibodies IgG** refers to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that are produced in response to an infection with Brucella bacteria. Brucella species cause brucellosis, a zoonotic infection that can affect humans and is often transmitted from animals, such as cattle, goats, and dogs. **Key Points:** - **Purpose:** The presence of Brucella IgG antibodies in the blood indicates a past or chronic infection with Brucella species. IgG antibodies typically appear later in the course of the infection and can persist for months to years. - **Clinical Use:** The Brucella IgG test helps diagnose brucellosis and assess the immune response to the infection. It is often used alongside other diagnostic tests, such as Brucella IgM antibodies, culture tests, and clinical evaluations. - **Interpretation:** Elevated levels of Brucella IgG suggest a past infection or chronic brucellosis. It is important for healthcare providers to correlate these findings with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic results to confirm the diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment. Testing for Brucella IgG is crucial for diagnosing brucellosis and managing the condition effectively.
