General Information

Brucella IgM antibodies

Brucella IgM antibodies are a blood test that determines IgM class antibodies produced against Brucella bacteriaIgM antibodies usually appear early in the infection and may indicate current or recent brucellosis.

Brucella is a gram-negative coccobacillus. It causes brucellosis, a zoonotic disease that is transmitted from animals to humans. Brucella infects cattle, dogs, and others. The species B. melitensis, B. abortus, and B. suis also infect humans.

Patient preparation –it is not necessary.

Research material – Venous blood

When should we take the test?

Determination of Brucella IgM antibodies is recommended when a patient has symptoms characteristic of brucellosis or is at risk of infection:

Prolonged or periodically recurring fever
Sweating at night
General weakness and fatigue
Joint and muscle pain
headache
Enlarged liver or spleen
Contact with infected animals
Consuming unpasteurized dairy products

Possible interpretation of the results

A positive test result may indicate an active or recent brucellosis infection.

The absence of antibodies reduces the likelihood of brucellosis, although antibody levels may still be low in the very early stages of infection.

Results should be interpreted in light of the patient's clinical symptoms, epidemiological history, and other laboratory studies.

Reference values

Human brucellosis is a systemic infectious disease characterized by:

Acute stage of bacteremia
Localization of infection in the organ
Inactive hidden forms

The acute stage occurs with the usual symptoms of infection and lasts 2-4 weeks.

Chronic brucellosis develops with the pathogen's metastasis to a specific organ, such as the bone marrow, spleen, liver, kidneys, or brain.

Sometimes abscesses form in these organs.

The production of IgM antibodies begins in the first week of the disease, followed by IgG antibodies from the second week. During the recovery process, the concentration of antibodies slowly decreases. (Antibodies completely disappear 2-3 years after the transfer). The presence of an increased concentration of IgG antibodies over a long period of time indicates a chronic form of the disease.
