ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the differents of rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(IELISA) and the traditional serological methods in diagnosis of human brucellosis.Methods Brucella antibody was detected by IELISA,rose bangel plate test (RBPT),standard agglutination test (SAT),Coomb's test and cysteine test of serological methods in 430 confirmed and suspected patients and 300 healthy controls during the same period.The consistency was analyzed between IELISA and other tests.Results Positive rates of patients were significandy higher than those in healthy controls (IELISA:83.49％ vs.0;RBPT:86.97％ vs.0;SAT:76.27％ vs.0;Coomb's:65.58％ vs.0.02％;and cysteine test:67.91％ vs.0,x2 =535.05,412.47,437.66,339.22,489.49,all P ＜ 0.01).Positive consistency rates between IELISA and other tests were 87.19％,79.39％,71.59％ and 76.60％,the highest was between IELISA and RBPT,the lowest was between IELISA and Coomb's.Conclusions Brucella antibody is detected conveniently,quickly,and accurately by the joint application of RBPT and IEHSA,which provides important technical support for prevention and control of brucellosis.It is worthy of application extensively.
