Pathogenic microorganism examination

Alpha-mercaptoethanol test

Brucella is a pathogen of cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals. Humans are very susceptible to Brucella, and the clinical manifestations are intermittent fever, so it is also called wave heat. After the disease, lectin, precipitin, opsonin, complement-binding antibody, and blood antibody appear in the body fluid, so it is often diagnosed by serological methods. Basic Information Specialist classification: Infectious disease inspection and classification: pathogenic microorganism inspection Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Below normal indicates no infection with Brucella virus. Normal value: no Above normal: Above normal, the probability of being infected with the Brucella virus is high. negative: Negative means normal. Positive: A positive indication may be infected by a Brucella virus. Tips: Do not eat too greasy, high-protein foods the day before the blood draw, avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. After 8 pm on the day before the medical examination, fasting should be done to avoid affecting the detection of indicators such as blood glucose in the second sky. Normal value 0 to 1:50. Clinical significance >1:50 is positive, and the coincidence rate of brucellosis is 93.88%. High results may be diseases: Brucellosis, Brucella arthritis, Brucella erythema results may be disease: Brucellosis, Brucella arthritis, Brucella erythema 1. <1:25:1:25 to 1:50 is suspicious. 2. 1:100 is weakly positive. 3. Positive from 1:200 to 1:400. 4, ≥ 1:800 is strongly positive. Inspection process The serum to be tested was diluted 1:25 with physiological saline and then serially diluted to 1:800. Each tube was 0.5 ml, and each tube was separately added with 0.5 ml of diagnostic bacterial solution (1 billion/ml) and mixed. The results were observed after 37 to 20 hours in a 37 ° C water bath. Not suitable for the crowd Those who do not have an indication for examination should not do this check. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no complications and harm.
