Abstract: Although brucellosis is the most common zoonosis in the
world, it remains an infectious disease that has not received
sufficient attention. There are a few tests detecting brucellosis by
serum. Rose Bengal Test is an advantageous one. Our aim with this
study was to compare Rose Bengal and Brucellacapt tests in serum
samples and draw attention to the advantages of the test. Between
June 2019 and June 2021, 7827 serum samples sent to the public
health laboratory with a provisional diagnosis of brucellosis were
evaluated. The Rose Bengal and Brucellacapt test (Vircell, Spain)
was used to diagnose infection. Samples with antibody titer ≥1/160
were considered positive. Of the 7827 samples included in the study,
354 (4.6%) of the total 7677 serum samples tested were RBT
positive, 118 (3.1%) of the 3776 samples tested were BCAP positive,
and 118 (3.3%) of the 3626 samples tested were both RBT and
BCAP positive. It was found that seropositivity was significantly
higher in female patients (p<0.10). RBT and BCAP test positivity
were most frequently observed in the 25-34 year age group.
Considering brucellosis cases in terms of seasonal changes; 10.7%
of cases were found in spring, 52.4% in summer, 20.9% in fall, and
16% in winter. In suspected cases, RBT is still considered the ideal
detection method because it is easy to use, inexpensive, sensitive,
and provides rapid results. It was concluded that the BCAP test is
suitable for diagnosis due to its ability to detect blocker and high titer
antibodies.
