    Summary

    Cellular immunological tests, including lymphocyte blasttransformation reaction (LBTR) and leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT), aid in diagnosing chronic brucellosis activity. These methods are particularly useful for seronegative cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Chronic brucellosis diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in seronegative patients.
    • Assessing the activity of chronic brucellosis requires reliable diagnostic markers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of lymphocyte blasttransformation reaction (LBTR) and leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) as diagnostic criteria for chronic brucellosis.
    • To determine the effectiveness of these immunological tests in estimating disease activity, especially in seronegative individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted immunological testing on 201 patients diagnosed with chronic brucellosis.
    • Utilized lymphocyte blasttransformation reaction (LBTR) and leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT).

    Main Results:

    • Both LBTR and LMIT demonstrated potential as additional diagnostic criteria for chronic brucellosis.
    • These tests proved especially valuable in identifying disease activity in seronegative brucellosis patients.
    • A diagnostic table was developed based on the obtained results.

    Conclusions:

    • LBTR and LMIT are valuable tools for assessing chronic brucellosis activity.
    • These immunological assays improve diagnostic accuracy, particularly in seronegative brucellosis cases.
    • The devised diagnostic table aids in clinical decision-making for brucellosis management.
