What is the Brucella Antibody IgM Test?
The Brucella Antibody IgM test detects IgM antibodies against Brucella bacteria in the blood. Brucella bacteria cause brucellosis, an infectious disease transmitted from animals to humans, often through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, direct contact with infected animals, or inhalation of contaminated air. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates a recent or current infection.

Purpose of the Brucella Antibody IgM Test:

1. Diagnose Acute Brucellosis:

   • The test helps diagnose acute brucellosis by detecting IgM antibodies, which are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to infection.

2. Early Detection:

   • Useful for early detection of brucellosis, particularly in individuals with symptoms like fever, joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue, and night sweats.

3. Monitor Response to Treatment:

   • Helps monitor the effectiveness of treatment by measuring changes in antibody levels over time.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is generally not required for the Brucella Antibody IgM test. You can eat and drink normally unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as they may 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 IgM antibodies against Brucella.
