Diagnosis of brucellosis: Combining tests to improve performance
Serological tests remain crucial for brucellosis diagnosis, but their limitations necessitate innovative diagnostic approaches. Combining multiple serological tests in diagnostic algorithms shows promise in improving diagnostic accuracy. Efforts to refine diagnostic, strengthen surveillance, and raise awareness are essential for effective brucellosis control, particularly in resource-limited settings.
