IgM Antibody - Brucella Test in Pune

What is IgM Antibody - Brucella Test

IgM Antibody - Brucella Test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against Brucella bacteria. These bacteria can cause a disease called brucellosis which can lead to fever, fatigue and joint pain. The test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it in the laboratory. A positive result indicates recent exposure to Brucella bacteria, while a negative result rules out recent infection or exposure. The test is often used in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical assessments to diagnose brucellosis and monitor treatment progress. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider if you suspect you may have been exposed to Brucella bacteria or if you are experiencing symptoms of brucellosis.

• Individuals who work in high-risk occupations such as veterinarians, animal handlers, and laboratory personnel who handle Brucella bacteria.
