What is the Brucella Antibody IgG Test?
The Brucella Antibody IgG test is used to detect IgG antibodies against Brucella bacteria in the blood. Brucella bacteria cause brucellosis, a zoonotic infection transmitted from animals to humans, often through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, contact with infected animals, or inhalation of contaminated aerosols. The presence of IgG antibodies usually indicates a past infection or a chronic/late-stage brucellosis infection.

Purpose of the Brucella Antibody IgG Test:

1. Detect Past or Chronic Brucellosis Infection:

   • Measures IgG antibodies to confirm past exposure to Brucella or to identify a chronic infection, which can persist for months or even years.

2. Monitor Disease Progression and Treatment Response:

   • Useful for monitoring the course of the disease and the patient’s response to treatment in chronic cases.

3. Differentiate Stages of Infection:

   • Helps differentiate between acute (IgM positive) and chronic or past infections (IgG positive) when used alongside IgM testing.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is generally not required for the Brucella Antibody IgG test. You can eat and drink normally unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider of any medications or supplements you are taking, as they could affect your immune response.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect IgG antibodies against Brucella.
